Install the MyVideo.Email Chrome Extension

The MyVideo.Email Chrome extension is currently in pre-release and not yet listed in the Chrome Web Store.
Use the steps below to download and install it manually in Chrome.

Before You Start #

• Use a desktop/laptop computer with Google Chrome installed.
• You must have a MyVideo.Email account and login.
• Have the extension ZIP file download link ready.

Step 1: Download the Extension ZIP #

1. Open this download link
2. Save the ZIP file to your computer (for example, Downloads).

Step 2: Extract the ZIP File #

1. Locate the downloaded ZIP file.
2. Unzip/extract it to a folder in a location where it can stay and not get deleted.
3. Do not delete this folder after install (Chrome loads the extension from it).

Step 3: Open Chrome Extensions Page #

1. In Chrome, go to: chrome://extensions
2. Turn on Developer mode (top-right).

Step 4: Load the Extension #

1. Click Load unpacked.
2. Select the extracted extension folder (the folder that contains manifest.json).
3. Click Select.

Step 5: Pin the Extension #

1. Click the puzzle icon in Chrome toolbar.
2. Find MyVideo.Email.
3. Click the pin icon so it stays visible.

Step 6: Open and Sign In #

1. Click the MyVideo.Email extension icon.
2. Log in with your MyVideo.Email account.
3. If prompted, allow required browser permissions (camera/microphone).

Troubleshooting #

• “Load unpacked” is disabled: Turn on Developer mode.
• Install fails: Make sure you selected the folder containing manifest.json, not the ZIP.
• Camera/mic not working: Check Chrome site/extension permissions and retry.
• Extension seems out of date: Reload the extension from chrome://extensions.
