I am using Ubuntu 18.04.

I want to play multiple videos at same time in VLC player, just like I used to do in Windows. But when I click to open new video it starts that video in the same video window itself.

How can I do that?

If you want every new file to open in a new VLC window then follow these steps:

Go to Tools > Preferences.

Under Playlists and Instances, uncheck the option that says Use only one instance when started from the file manager.

Don't forget to click on the save button afterwards.

Now, every media file that you open from the file manager or any other place will open in a completely new VLC Media Player window.
