How To Stream Videos In VLC


VLC Player is the most popular (if not one of the most popular) media player in the world. It's interesting to find out that, majority of its users only use it to watch videos and play music but there's much more you can do with it. I take my turn in this article to show you how you can stream (both video and audio) with VLC.

Streaming with VLC comes in two parts: You can either stream to a another location or stream from an existing service. We're going to see how to stream from an existing service notably Youtube.

Streaming With VLC Player

Step 1: Open VLC Player. If you don't have it download it here











 
Step 2: Select "Open Network Stream" from the "Media" option in the menu bar. You can also use 
the shortcut keys "Ctrl + N".


Step 3: Select the "Network" tab and enter the address to the resource you want to stream. In my situation I will use the link to a Youtube video. Click on Play at the buttom of that Window and wait for it to load. 


Step 4: Profit!!! You have succesfully streamed with VLC :)


I have added a a link to a text file with many streaming services worldwide you can try. Click HERE.
