How do you display and control video/audio in MAUI?

Intermediate

Answer

Use the MAUI Community Toolkit's MediaElement, which wraps native players. Bind Source (URL or file), and control playback with Play/Pause/Stop and events for state and position. For advanced needs, a dedicated media library or custom handler may be warranted.
<toolkit:MediaElement Source="https://cdn/video.mp4"
                      ShouldAutoPlay="True"
                      ShouldShowPlaybackControls="True" />
Real-world example A course app streams lesson videos with MediaElement, showing native playback controls on each platform.
