Completely free and open-source
Highly recognizable brand name in media playback
Weaknesses

Slower adoption of cutting-edge UI/UX trends compared to some commercial players
Opportunities
Growing demand for ad-free media consumption
Expansion into smart TV and IoT device integrations
Leveraging open-source community for faster feature development
Potential for premium/pro versions with enhanced features or support
Threats

Challenges in securing funding for continued development as a non-profit
Piracy of content played through their software (indirect threat to content creators
not VLC itself)
