Users can enter a URL, scan the clipboard, or use Radar mode, which adds detected media while browsing and playing it. Authentication settings support account-protected videos, with Vimeo documented as an example. Download controls include video-resolution and subtitle-language selection, and subtitle downloads are supported. Media can be converted to MP4, MKV, MOV, or MP3.
