How To Remove Santa Hat in VLC Player Permanently

by

The Santa hat feature in VLC Player is a holiday-themed overlay that can be enabled during the Christmas season. To remove the Santa hat permanently in VLC Player, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open VLC Player on your computer.
  2. Click on the “Tools” menu, then select “Preferences.”
  3. In the “Preferences” window, select “All” under “Show settings” to display all options.
  4. In the left sidebar, navigate to “Video” and then “Subtitles & OSD.”
  5. Uncheck the box next to “Enable Holiday filter”
  6. Click on the “Save” button to save your changes.
  7. Close the “Preferences” window and the Santa hat should be removed permanently.

Alternatively, you can also use the command-line interface to disable the Santa hat feature. Run the following command in terminal:

vlc --no-holiday-effects

It will open the VLC player without the Santa hat filter.

Once you’ve removed the Santa hat feature, it will not be displayed again until you re-enable it in the preferences or by running the command.
