It does and it works very easy - it just needs a winId.

Hi,
Can you please share the steps to configure?

I more or less using the same stuff as here: https://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC_SampleCode_Qt/
It's a little bit outdated, the init can be done easier nowadays

  if (ui->outputWidget)
  {
#if defined(Q_OS_WIN)
    libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd(m_mPlayer, (HWND)ui->outputWidget->winId());
#elif defined(Q_OS_MAC)
    libvlc_media_player_set_agl(m_mPlayer, ui->outputWidget->winId()) ;
#else //Linux
    libvlc_media_player_set_xwindow(m_mPlayer, ui->outputWidget->winId());
#endif
  }

ui->outputWidget is a simple QWidget, the rest is not different then using plain libvlc.
