How to Make VLC Your Default Player on Mac

Are you tired of using QuickTime as the default media player on your Mac? Do you want to switch to a more versatile and feature-rich player like VLC? If so, this article is here to guide you through the process.

Before we begin, let's take care of uninstalling QuickTime. To do this, locate the QuickTime icon in the Applications folder and drag it into the Trash. You'll then need to find the Finder icon in the Dock at the bottom of your screen, right-click on it (or control-click if you're using a laptop), and select 'Get Info.' In the Get Info window, look for the 'Open with' section and select VLC from the list of available players.

Once you've uninstalled QuickTime, you can set VLC as your default player. To do this, find an audio or video file on your Mac and right-click on it (or control-click if you're using a laptop). From the context menu, select 'Get Info' and look for the 'Open with' section. Select VLC from the list of available players.

Another way to set VLC as your default player is by going to the Finder icon in the Dock at the bottom of your screen, right-clicking on it (or control-click if you're using a laptop), and selecting 'Preferences.' In the Preferences window, select 'QuickTime' and then click on the 'Default Player' tab. From here, you can select VLC as your default player.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should now be able to use VLC as your default media player on your Mac.
