Tribler newbie, how can I actually watch the video while downloading it/stream?

Hi guys,

Tribler newbie here. Can’t seem to find the option to be able to watch the video I’m downloading. Does the torrent need to be searched within Tirbler? Or can the torrent link/magnet come from anywhere and can be watched/streamed?

Thanks a lot guys!

You can press the “play” button on the toolbar while the torrent you want to stream is selected, or go to the files tab and play the video file from there.
