Features & Capabilities

Metastream Remote is a Chrome extension that enables synchronized streaming media playback with friends. By creating a session at app.getmetastream.com, users can watch movies and television together, controlling video and audio playback across all participants' devices. Each participant must have their own subscription accounts for the streaming services used. This extension manages synchronization by sending commands like play, pause, and seek to embedded video players, ensuring everyone watches the same content at the same time.

The source code is open and available on GitHub for transparency and auditing purposes. Metastream Remote enhances shared online watching experiences, making it easy and seamless to enjoy streaming media with friends remotely.

Is Metastream Remote Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Metastream Remote requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Metastream Remote has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
