+## Hardware acceleration
+
+Out of the box the pod does not have the necessary permissions to enable hardware acceleration (HWA) in Jellyfin.
+Adding the following Helm values should make it enable you to use hardware acceleration features.
+Some settings may need to be tweaked depending on the type of device (Intel/AMD/NVIDIA/...) and your container runtime.
+
+Please refer to the Jellyfin upstream documentation for more information about hardware acceleration: <https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/>
