How does Hola Media Player work?

A while ago we told you about Hola, the free app that can unlock access to restricted sites. Now the service has added a new extension called Hola Media Player, which lets you stream torrent movies. How does it work? It’s very simple: just download the Hola Media Player extension and once installed, hover the mouse over a torrent link or a magnet link. A small box will appear with a play icon, and you’ll click it to watch the movie in your browser.

Playback features and compatibility

Once the movie starts playing, you’ll see the options at the bottom of the box. You can adjust the sound, switch to fullscreen, or add subtitles by simply dragging them onto the small box. Hola Media Player plays the movie directly in the browser, no download required. It works similarly to the Joker service and best of all, you don’t need any extra plug-ins. For now, Hola Media Player is only available on Windows, and it works on both Chrome and Firefox. It’s expected to be available on other browsers and platforms soon.
