How to stop using VLC as default player on Mac?

Question

macOS

I have VLC and Elmedia players installed on my MacBook Pro. I want the default player to be Elmedia, but I can't switch from VLC, which is the default player for all extensions. If you select "Always open with" when opening a media file, VLC is still the default player for other files with that extension.

Is this somehow possible to fix? I have macOS Catalina installed on my Mac.

Thanks to Valery (@Stebneff). I managed to find a solution. You need to right-click (Control-click) on the file type that you want to always open with Elmedia. Click "Properties". In the "Open with" section, select Elmedia from the drop-down menu. To apply this change to all files of that type, click the Change All button.
