Softonic review

VLC Media Player Chrome Extension

We've created a new way to bring movies, music, and live streams to your device. It lets you open any video file or stream, including video from YouTube, Netflix, VEVO, Vimeo, Instagram, and other services, right within the VLC (VideoLAN) Media Player.

Video files in the Chrome extension

All video files are stored in the local storage of your device and you can view them on any computer you have. Video files in the extension are available in MP4, MP3, AAC, and more. They work in all major browsers and Android devices.

Streams in the Chrome extension

We also support streams from popular video sites like YouTube, and Twitch. We're also working on adding more video services, but that's not something we can do in the current version.

How can I install the extension?

You can download it for free from our website. Once you do, you can immediately open all videos with VLC Media Player. You can also add videos to your list, and view and manage them with the media player, or with our app.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
