Is Umbrella Kodi Addon safe to use? Is Umbrella Kodi Addon legal? What channels does Umbrella Kodi Addon have? We will answer those questions and more in this article.

The reason why we ask legal questions is because Umbrella isn’t available in Kodi’s official repository. This is sometimes a warning sign.

Umbrella is a Kodi Movie Addon that features Movies and TV Shows for streaming. This is located in the Umbrella Repository.

Important Note: This add-on only works with Real-Debrid and other premium debrid services to provide the highest quality streaming links.

Unlike other popular Kodi addons like The Crew, Umbrella does not offer live tv streaming.

Since this add-on can’t be installed through the official Kodi repository, it must be installed from a 3rd party provider which we show in the tutorial below.

NOTE: If you don’t have Kodi installed on your device, install the latest stable release using the tutorial below.

Is Umbrella Kodi Addon Safe?

Before I install this, I first want to scan their repository URL with VirusTotal.

However, this does not mean we shouldn’t protect ourselves when streaming content from this unverified 3rd party add-on.

Kodi even alerts users during setup that these 3rd party Add-ons will be given access to personal data stored on our device.
