.NET MAUI – CommunityToolkit – MediaElement

The most requested feature from Xamarin.CommunityToolkit package, MediaElement, is now ported to the .NET MAUI CommunityToolkit following the MAUI’s very own handler-based implementation.

Due to the dependencies involved, this is released as a separate NuGet package titled CommunityToolkit.Maui.MediaElement. The NuGet package is now available to access from the public NuGet feed. The stable version supports only .NET 7 and .NET 6 backward compatibility supported in the earlier developer preview version is now out of context.

It is highly recommended to update to this latest v1.0.1 release as this aligns with the .NET MAUI’s implicit Windows AppSDK package dependency.
