+### Video Rendering
+
+We support multiple platforms and each platform uses its own rendering backend.
+
+| Platform     | Rendering Backend | Flutter Package |
+| ------------ | ----------------- | --------------- |
+| Android      | MPV               | media_kit       |
+| iOS          | MPV               | media_kit       |
+| Windows      | MPV               | media_kit       |
+| MacOS        | MPV               | media_kit       |
+| Web          | HTML5             | fvp             |
+| Linux        | MDK               | fvp             |
+| Raspberry Pi | MDK               | fvp             |
+
+MDK is used for Linux and Raspberry Pi because MPV has shown to be unstable on these platforms, causing crashes. Additionally, `fvp` doesn't require the user to install any additional dependencies.
+
 ### Build
 
 The build process is pretty straight-forward. You need to have [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install) installed on your system.
