windeployqt Tool (Windows)

Qt provides a tool called windeployqt that simplifies the deployment process by automatically copying necessary Qt libraries and plugins:

Open a Command Prompt and navigate to the directory where your application executable resides.

Run windeployqt:

windeployqt MediaPlayer.exe

NOTE: if you get a "libstdc++-6.dll" not found or "libgcc_s_seh-1.dll" not found

you can copy the missing dlls from "PATH/TO/Qt/tools/mingw*****/bin"
