What is an Online Video Player?
An online video player is a browser-based tool that lets you watch videos without downloading or installing anything. QnaBangla's URL video player lets you play video from any direct link, or select files from your device for 100% private local playback — your files never leave your device.
Recommended browsers: Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome for widest codec support.

How to Play Video from URL
- Copy a direct video URL — from Google Drive, Dropbox, a CDN, or any server hosting an MP4/MKV/WebM file.
- Paste in the input field above and click ▶ Play (or press Enter).
- Optional: add subtitles — enable the Subtitles toggle, then click + Add Subs and choose your .srt or .vtt file.
- Control playback — adjust speed, toggle loop, use keyboard shortcuts, or open in Picture-in-Picture.
How to Play Local Video Files
- Click the 📁 File button — or drag and drop a video file directly onto the player.
- Select any MP4, MKV, WebM, OGV file from your computer, phone, or tablet.
- The video plays immediately, entirely within your browser. No upload. 100% private.
Privacy note: Local files are read using the browser's File API and processed entirely in memory. They are never sent to any server.
