Can I convert a video download link to a online video streaming?

I assume that you would like to watch the video immediately, rather than wait for the download to complete.

It is possible to watch the video while downloading it, this way:

• Start the download in Chrome (or any browser)
• Go to Downloads, right-click the link to copy the link address
• Launch your media player on your computer or mobile device
• Open the network streaming feature and paste the link
• Click play.

Here is where network streaming is found in some popular media players:

• VLC media player (Windows): Media > Open Network Stream or Ctrl+N.

• Windows media player (Windows): Press Ctrl+U.

• MX Player (Android): Three-dots menu > Network Stream.

• VLC (Android): Sidebar menu > Open MRL.

• VLC (iOS): Sidebar menu > Open network stream.
