    GOM Player is a media player for Microsoft Windows, developed by GOM & Company. With more than 100 million downloads, it is also known as the most used player in South Korea.[citation needed] Its main features include the ability to play some broken media files and find missing codecs using a codec finder service.[4]

    The word gom (곰) means "bear" in Korean, and as such the icon of GOM Player looks like a bear's paw.

    GOM Player has a free version and a paid version. The paid version name is GOM Player Plus, and it allows video playback without advertisements and includes additional features such as simpler configuration.

    Features

    [edit | edit source]
    • GOM Player has several embedded video and audio codecs, so it can play immediately without installing any external codecs. If there is no codec, it can be found with a codec search feature.
    • The basic embedded codec has the advantage of making it easier for computer beginners who lack knowledge of codecs to play videos.
    • Video files that are incomplete, damaged, or not completely downloaded can also be played.
    • If the file name of a video file and subtitles are the same, subtitles are automatically displayed when the video is running.
    • If there is no subtitle file, subtitles can be found in the subtitles archive supported by GOM Player.
    • GOM Player started supporting 360 video (360VR) for the first time as a domestic video player in December 2015, and also has supported 360 video on GOM Player mobile app since June 2016.
    • 360 degree videos and trending videos on YouTube can be played through the right panel called Miniweb.
    • In 2019, the preferences of GOM player were newly reorganized.
    • In 2020, a new version of GOM player macOS was released.
    • GOM player is available on mobile (Android/iOS).
    • In 2020, the company released a new GOM Player app optimized for iPhones.
