I have two versions of VLC installed on the same system [duplicate]

  • 772

There are two VLCs:

  1. VLC (The ultimate media player) - version- 3.0.0

  2. VLC media player (Read, capture, broadcast your multimedia streams) - version - 2.2.6-6

I am worried that one of them may be fake. Which one is safe?

vlc
