Qt C++ library providing cross-platform audio, video, and camera APIs for multimedia applications.
Why you might care
Part of the Qt framework ecosystem; use this if you're building Qt applications that need to play/record audio, video, or access camera hardware. It's a runtime dependency for Qt-based multimedia apps and provides high-level abstractions over platform-specific media backends (GStreamer on Linux, AVFoundation on macOS, etc.).
