Stremio Account & Sync: How It Works

Understand what Stremio syncs across devices (library, addons, watch progress), what does not sync, and how to fix sync issues.

Last updated: December 12, 2025

What Stremio syncs (and why it matters)

When you sign into Stremio on multiple devices, it can keep your experience consistent:

  • Installed addons (in many cases)
  • Library / watchlist
  • Watch progress (where supported)

What might not sync perfectly

Some items are device-specific:

  • Player output settings (audio passthrough, subtitles styling)
  • Casting device pairing
  • OS-level permissions and storage limits

Step-by-step: get sync working

  1. Confirm you are signed into the same account on every device
  2. On each device, restart Stremio after installing or removing addons
  3. If one device lags behind, sign out → sign in again
  4. If a specific addon isn’t appearing, reinstall it and refresh catalogs

Best practice

Pick a “primary” device to manage addons (desktop is easiest), then let other devices sync.
