This tutorial shows how to install The Crew Kodi Addon on Firestick, Android TV, and any device.

We include a video tutorial as well as step-by-step screenshots to walk you through the entire installation process that only takes a few minutes.

The Crew has long been considered one of the top-ranked Kodi add-ons available today. This is an all-in-one add-on that features movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, adult content, and much more.

Those who have used Kodi have probably heard of The Crew by now. It has been around for several years and is found within many popular Kodi builds.

TROYPOINT Tip: This add-on works best when paired with premium debrid services like TorBox, Premiumize, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, and others. Our team has throughly tested this add-on and found that most free streaming links do not work.

The developers recently updated The Crew to version V3.0.0. This is a “major milestone” with tons of modernization updates, improvements, and much more.

Below, you will find both a video tutorial and a screenshot guide to help you install The Crew on your Kodi device. (We recommend watching the video for added details & notes).

We are using an Amazon Firestick but these same steps also work for those using Fire TVs, Android TV/Google TV boxes, and any device compatible with the Kodi software.

Enabling/Disabling various Providers is a great way to adjust the scrapers for links displayed.

You can also adjust the Torrent Providers which but if you have these enabled make sure you are using a VPN!

Make sure to file through all Settings options to adjust them to your liking and make The Crew work for you.

Is The Crew Addon Legal?

There is no way for TROYPOINT to determine whether an unverified add-on holds the proper licensing to broadcast content.

If and when an add-on is deemed illegal, we notify our users immediately and update reports on our Website to reflect that information.

At first glance, it would appear that The Crew is distributing copyrighted works without consent.

The end-user is responsible for all content accessed through unverified add-ons. For verified options, see our list of legal streaming apps.

Is This Add-on Safe to Use?

We always use VirusTotal to scan 3rd party add-ons and apps such as this. Pictured below is a screenshot of the Crew Repo URL after scanning with VirusTotal.

Even though there are no malicious/suspicious files associated with the installation file, we still recommend using a VPN as we are not sure who the developers of this add-on are and what they may be doing with your data.

Final Thoughts from Troy

If you haven’t given The Crew a try, we strongly recommend doing so to find the best media options available on your Kodi device.

Many use it for on-demand options but it is way more than that as users will also find functioning sports links and even live television that have minimal buffering!

Not to mention the ability to add adult options for XXX content that is typically not available within these outlets.
