FAQ

How do I install extensions? SkyStream uses `.sky` or `.js` extension files. You can install them by navigating to Settings > Extensions > Add Repository and entering a repository URL (e.g., using a shortcode).
Where is the media stored? SkyStream is a streaming client and does not host any content. All media is streamed directly from the third-party extensions you install.
