Whether you are a beginner or just looking for a quick setup refresher, believe me, this guide is super, so anyone can follow along. You should keep reading, and you will have Torrentio up and running in no time.
How to Set Up Torrentio?
Let me tell you one thing that is, no doubt, setting up Torrentio takes just a few steps, but you need to follow them in the right order. Once you complete this, you will be able to stream movies and shows easily through Stremio using torrent links.
Step 1: Download and Install the Stremio App
First, you need to have the Stremio app because Torrentio works through it.
To get it, go to the official website: www.stremio.com. Once you are there, you will see options for different devices like Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux.
Click on the one that matches your device, download it, and install it just like any other app. After it is installed, open the app. Now you are ready for the next step of signing into your Stremio account.
Step 2: Sign in or Create a Stremio Account
Once the app opens, you will see a login screen. You need an account to use Stremio and install add-ons like Torrentio.
You can log in with your email or simply use your Google or Facebook account, as it is quick and easy.
After logging in, you will land on the Stremio dashboard. This is where you can search for shows, add add-ons, and more. You must complete this login step before moving to the next one, because Torrentio links to your account.
Step 3: Open the Stremio Web Version (Important!)
Even though you installed the desktop app, Torrentio is installed through the web version of Stremio. So now, open your browser and go to: https://stremio.com/web
You have to use the same account you just created or logged into. This keeps your setup in sync between the web and the desktop app. Once you are logged in to the web version, you are ready to install the Torrentio add-on.
Step 4: Install the Torrentio Add-on
Now comes the important part, such as installing Torrentio. You will not find Torrentio in the regular community add-ons, so you have to install it from a special link.
Open this page in a new browser tab: https://torrentio.strem.fun
When the page loads, click the big “Install to Stremio” button.
It may ask you to log in again, so just use the same Stremio account.
After this, Torrentio will be added to your Stremio add-ons list. But to make it even better, you need to configure it based on your preferences.
Step 5: Configure Torrentio for Better Results
Now that your Torrentio is installed, let’s fine-tune it to work better for you. Stay on the same page and click on the “Configure” button.
You will now see a list of settings:
Choose your region or country so Torrentio shows you better sources.
Set your stream sorting as you can choose things like highest quality, most seeders, or newest releases.
Select your torrent providers because you can tick only the ones you trust.
These options help Torrentio find the best video links for you. Once you have selected everything, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the “Save Configuration” button. When you do that, it will give you a new custom link made just for your setup.
Step 6: Reinstall Torrentio with Your Custom Link
You can copy the custom link that appeared after saving your settings. Now go back to your Stremio web app.
Paste that custom link into your browser’s address bar and press Enter. You will be asked: “Do you want to install this add-on?” Click Yes or Install.
This replaces the default Torrentio with your version by using your settings, like country, sorting, and providers. Now everything is perfectly set up just how you want it.
How to Use Torrentio?
Once you have set up Torrentio with Stremio, using it is super simple. I will mention how to start streaming right away:
Open the Stremio app on your device. Make sure you are logged in with the same account you used when setting up Torrentio.
At the top of the app, you will see a search bar. You can type the name of any movie or show you want to watch, and hit enter.
You just have to click on the poster or the name of the movie from the search results. This will take you to its detail page.
After clicking the title, scroll down a bit. You will now see a list of available streams. These links are pulled by Torrentio from different torrent sources.
You will notice different quality options like 720p, 1080p, or 4 K. Just click the one that looks best to you. That is it. The video will start playing inside Stremio. You can pause, rewind, or adjust volume, just like any video player.
Helpful Tip: If a stream does not work or buffers too much, go back and try another one. Torrentio gives you many options for the same content.
