Microsoft Details Movies & TV App For Windows 10 Devices

Along with the announcement about rebranding of Xbox Music to Groove Music, Microsoft also detailed the new Movies & TV app in Windows 10. This new app is better than ever for playing all your personal videos, as well as all the movies and TV shows you love. You can import your personal video collection, and play back your content in a fast and elegantly designed app that is optimized for both mouse/keyboard as well as touch. Drag and drop videos between your collections, use right clicks and hot keys for contextual menus, or go full-screen with easy to use playback controls. Microsoft has also also added additional file format support like .MKV too.

Movies & TV has direct integration with the Windows Store, where you can buy or rent from all the latest movies and TV shows in HD, as well as thousands of other favorites. Weekly new releases, access to TV shows a day after air, deals and discounts, and personalized recommendations just for you. And on Windows 10 devices, Xbox and the web, the Movies & TV app lets you start watching purchased or rented content on one device, and pick up where you left off on another device.

This update will come with next build for Windows Insiders in Fast Ring. For regular users, it will be part of Windows 10 release on July 29th.
