Streamo: Running; access rules have changed since launch

The best Streamo alternative in 2026

Streamo is still running at streamo.pro. It launched in 2026 behind an invite code, and for a few days in August FMHY marked it as needing a sign-up.

The short answer

Streamo is still running at streamo.pro, but how you get in has changed more than once: it opened with an invite code, and FMHY tagged it as requiring sign-up from 8 to 13 August 2026. If you want a backup you can open without an invite or an account, Rotten Brains is free and stays at one address.

What's going on with Streamo?

The streamo.pro domain was registered on 28 January 2026, according to a Gridinsoft domain scan. FMHY, a popular community index of free sites, added Streamo on 8 June 2026, starred and with an invite code needed to get in. The star came off the same day.

The next day FMHY starred it again without the invite code, then removed the entry altogether. Streamo came back on 7 July 2026, this time without a star.

On 8 August 2026 FMHY tagged it 'Requires Sign-Up' and took the tag off on 13 August. It was starred again on 16 September 2026, and on 21 September it was also added to FMHY's Download Sites section.

FMHY's grading notes score Streamo 18 out of 18 and say its pop-ups can be turned off in settings. The name is also shared with an unrelated Streamo IPTV app, so a search can easily land on the wrong thing.

Every season and episode, with Up Next

Every season beside the player, the episode you are on marked.

Shows open on a watch page with every season beside the player. The episode you are on is marked, and Up Next sits right above the list, so finishing an episode is one tap from the next.

Anime is here too, with sub and dub where both exist.

02

Pick up where you left off

The player finds a working source by itself

Once it plays, the controls stay out of the way.

Every title is checked against several sources before you press play, and the player starts on the one that answers first.

If a source stalls, the player tries the next one and picks up where you were. You can still pick one yourself from the settings menu, with a note on which ones carry extra audio languages or subtitles.

04

Subtitles in dozens of languages

Dozens of languages, several versions of each.

Subtitles come from more than one source, so most titles have several versions per language. If the first one is out of sync with the video, the next one usually is not.

Many get lined up with the dialogue automatically when you pick them, and there is a delay slider for the rest.

05

Watch parties with friends anywhere

Start a party from any movie or episode and send the link. Everyone who opens it watches the same second of the same video, with a chat alongside, and the player keeps them in sync.

Any free account can start one. Friends can join and watch without an account at all.

Built for your phone too

The site works the same on a phone as on a laptop: the player pins to the top, the episode list scrolls underneath, and the controls are sized for thumbs.

Add it to your home screen and it opens full screen, like an app, with no store and no install.
