Hi @johnnymets176

Thanks for your question. The Bitmovin Player uses the Safari native player by default on macOS and iOS. You can override this with `preferredTech` ([PlaybackConfig | Bitmovin Player API 8.182.0](https://cdn.bitmovin.com/player/web/8/docs/interfaces/Core.PlaybackConfig.html#preferredTech))
