Moreover, you can also create your own torrent to share videos with family or friends. Then, click the Play button to start streaming the video while WebTorrent downloads the file in the background. Next, click on OK and wait for the torrent to load. You can use services like Public Domain Torrents and Legitimate Torrents to find legal torrents online. Alternatively, go to File > Open Torrent Address and paste the torrent magnet link. To stream a torrent, drag or drop the magnet link onto the player.
