About Videos

You can use iPad to view movies, music videos, video podcasts, and, if they’re available in your
area, TV shows. iPad also supports special features such as chapters, subtitles, alternate audio, and
closed captioning.

You can rent or purchase videos from the iTunes Store, and you can use a video adapter cable
to watch videos on a TV or projector. If you have an Apple TV, you can use AirPlay to watch the
videos wirelessly on a TV.

Playing videos
