Connect your streaming tab
Streaming sites are sealed off from other websites on purpose, so a page on its own can't press play for you. The filmkorner companion is a small browser add-on that can — and it only ever talks to your room.
From the Chrome Web Store, for Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers. Once it’s added, go back to your room: it connects by itself.
Install it by hand instead
Download the extension and follow these steps.
- 01
Download and unzip
Grab the extension below and unzip it somewhere you won't delete by accident — your Documents folder is fine.
- 02
Open your browser's extensions page
Paste chrome://extensions into the address bar. On Edge it's edge://extensions, on Brave brave://extensions.
- 03
Turn on Developer mode
The toggle sits in the top-right corner of that page.
- 04
Load unpacked
Click “Load unpacked” and pick the folder you unzipped. The popcorn icon appears in your toolbar.
- 05
Open your room, then a video
With your room open in one tab, the extension picks up the code by itself. Open Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+ or HBO Max in another tab and press play. Your room shows when the player is ready.
What it can see
- · Whether your player is paused, how far in you are, and the title name shown in the tab.
- · The extension uses the room session to connect your player, chat and reactions. It does not need your streaming password or payment details.
- · The extension also carries chat and reactions in a panel on your streaming tab. Voice uses the microphone in your room tab; keep that tab open.
