Common Questions
How does this actually work?
Stream Links are just simple plain text files with URLs to the content on streaming services. Channels loads them into your library as actual content. When you go to watch a movie or TV episode, you will be taken to the corresponding streaming app and it will start playing.
How do I make a stream link??

Where do I get the links for movies and TV shows?
For most streaming services, you can browse their website to find URLs for content. Once you start playing the content, copy the URL from the address bar in your browser and use that.
Is this content marked as watched in Channels when I watch it?
