It works on iOS 5 and later, Android 4 and later, and on Windows 7 and 8. I did the same with fresh videos captured on an iPhone 5 and the Android phone, a Nexus 4. I also could stream it through my TV on a special RealPlayer Cloud channel via a Roku box. I streamed it or downloaded it, via the cloud or my home network, to a PC, an iPhone, an iPad, a Web browser on a Mac and an Android phone. I easily uploaded to RealPlayer Cloud a video of my wife and son dancing at his wedding a few years ago. Real’s new iOS apps (the ones for iPhone and iPad) worked well, but I ran into trouble with the Android version, though the company has fixed much of that problem. Real’s mobile apps and website were better designed and easier to use than its old-looking Windows app.

I’ve been testing RealPlayer Cloud on all these devices and despite some hitches, found it performs as advertised. A Mac app is in the works, but meanwhile it can work, with some limitations, in a Web browser on a Mac (or any device with a browser). The service works using new or updated Real apps on Android devices, iPhones, iPads, Windows PCs and Roku TV set-top boxes. Real boasts that its new service reformats videos to best suit the device to which you stream or download them, taking into account device type, screen size, bandwidth and storage space. It also has built-in playback and sharing of your friends’ Facebook videos. It lets users of many different devices store their videos online stream or download them share them with others (even if the recipients lack Real’s software) and move videos easily among devices on the same network. Now, RealNetworks, the media-software company whose last major product launch was in 2008, is aiming to make video storage, portability and sharing a no-brainer with a new service called RealPlayer Cloud. With RealPlayer Cloud, an iPhone can share videos with an Android phone, and vice versa.
