+\title Qt Multimedia GStreamer on Android
+\brief Platform notes for GStreamer on Android
+\since 5.14
+
+This page covers the availability of GStreamer on Android.
+
+\section1 Limitations
+
+Since GStreamer is licensed under LGPL and distributed in archives (and should be statically linked),
+Qt Multimedia does not provide support of GStreamer on Android by default.
+
+Therefore GStreamer support must be explicitly enabled by configuring Qt with the \c -gstreamer option.
+
+\section1 Setup
+
+The GStreamer project provides prebuilt binaries which you can download and unzip into any location of your choice.
+
+The environment variable \c GSTREAMER_ROOT_ANDROID should be set to the location where you unzipped the downloaded package.
+
+\section1 Application
+
+Qt Multimedia does not contain any plugins and all needed plugins must be included
+and registered in applications manually by \c GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_DECLARE and \c GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_REGISTER
+after \c gst_init().
+
+Please refer to the official manual on how to statically link plugins to an application.
+
+https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/gstreamer/gstplugin.html?gi-language=c#GST_PLUGIN_STATIC_REGISTER
