How to Play/Watch WMV Video Files on iPhone

WMV is Widely Used on Video Recording and Making

As we know, WMV (Windows Media Video) is a popular video file format used for streaming video, screencasting and slideshow presentations. If you ever paid attention when creating videos by converting a presentation to video or recording screen sharing, you will realize that the recorded videos are mainly saved as WMV file.

However, the problem is iPhone does not natively support opening WMV files. How can you overcome this limitation so that you can play and enjoy WMV videos on your iPhone? A good idea is to convert your WMV videos to M4V or MP4 that iPhone can directly play.
