Your last stream, a click closer.
Reopen recent destinations from the menu bar or tray. Leave the copy-and-paste routine behind.
A little control goes a long way.
Set a default latency and choose whether to reuse the running player instance.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you click.
Does ClickToPlay include a video player?＋
No. It is a desktop helper that passes stream URLs to your installed VLC media player. Install the player separately.
Will a stream play inside this website?＋
The website introduces the desktop app. Its interactive menu is a demonstration; it does not connect to streams. The installed helper handles links on your desktop.
Did ClickToPlay have another name?＋
Yes. ClickToPlay is the new name for the same focused helper. Existing store and checkout pages may still show the previous name during the transition.
Is this an official VideoLAN or Haivision product?＋
No. ClickToPlay is an independent utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by VideoLAN or Haivision.
Click. Play. Carry on.↗
