Now play multi-audio track videos directly on Dropbox.com!

Hello Dropbox Community,

 

I wanted to share a quick update that you can now play multi-audio tracks on dropbox.com videos!

 

If your video files has multiple audio tracks attached, you can now switch between the various tracks through the settings icon and under multi-audio track. Say goodbye to the old days of switching to another video player to play your files with multiple languages attached to it!

 

Let us know what you think of the new feature in the comments below and/or any other video-related enhancements you’d love to see when previewing a video on Dropbox.

 

 

Thank you,

Derrick Yee

    That's wonderful news! It is a useful improvement that Dropbox.com videos now enable multiple audio tracks. By doing away with external video players, it simplifies the watching process. It would be fascinating to hear users' opinions on this feature and any more video-related enhancements they would like to see in Dropbox's video preview features.😀

    I am only seeing this option if accessing from a desktop. Can this be done through the app on an iPhone?

      Hey KenzieL7 - thanks for the interest in seeing this functionality in the mobile app.

       

      At the time being, it's only available through the website.

        Is there a way when trying to look at the video with multiple audio files on my phone to direct the preview to the website versus the app?

      It is unfortunately not available through the app right now - but I will relay this to the team to consider to add it to the roadmap for the near future!

    Is this feature available on Dropbox Replay? We have clips with several audio tracks (but nothing on channel 1) that are playing as silent

    I see that either the language codes are used or there's an incremental "Track #" label. Is there any way to transmit a handler track name from the mp4 track to the selector, in case I want to show a customized track list?
