Hey! So you wanna play an online video in PotPlayer? Like, what even is a PotPlayer?! Sounds like a cooking pot for gamers or something. But nah, it’s just this super cool app you can use to watch videos. Don’t worry, I’m here to help you navigate this digital jungle. Seriously, if I can do it, so can you. Let’s dive in!
Getting Started
First things first! You need to get PotPlayer on your device. Just Google it and find the download page. Easy peasy! Or maybe it’s not so easy because they have like ten versions and you don’t know which one is the right one for you! Just pick the first one; that should be good enough.
So now that you’ve got it all downloaded, let’s put on our video-watching boots and get ready to ROCK this thing.
Step 1: Open PotPlayer
Ok, once it’s downloaded, locate that cute little icon that looks like a black circle with some white stuff in the middle. Click on it like you’re clicking on that “free pizza” link that turns out to be a scam (but like we still click anyway).
Step 2: Go to the URL
But wait! You’re not looking for random videos on your computer… we’re diving into the online ocean of videos! Head over to where it says “Open URL” or something similar. Just click anywhere until you see it—I believe in your clicking skills!
Step 3: Copy Video Link
Now here comes the tricky part! You gotta go find a video online somewhere—not sure where? How about YouTube? Or TikTok? Or those weird cat videos on some random website? Find a video you like (don’t forget your snacks), then copy its link from the address bar at the top of your browser.
Step 4: Paste That Bad Boy
Go back to PotPlayer after you’ve copied your link! Now just right-click inside there and select “Paste.” If nothing happens… check if you’re still copying things with Ctrl+C or command+C for Mac users—like just don’t forget those hotkeys buddy!
Step 5: Hit Play
So now that link is pasted all snug in PotPlayer, just hit Play already! It’s like hitting play on your favorite song when everyone else is vibing to boring elevator music—be different!
Step 6: Adjust Volume Like A Pro
But oh no! The sound is too low or too high? No worries dude. There are these volume buttons or sliders or whatever—they look like tiny sound waves having a dance party…but make them loud enough so even your neighbor knows what movie you’re watching!
Step 7: Enjoy Your Show
Alright superstar! You did it! Sit back and relax. If someone walks into the room while you’re watching something embarrassing—just tell them it’s “artistic expression.” They won’t know what hit them!
