Finding out that some of you aren't aware that this is possible, so if you wanna watch something that you're going to delete after or if you want to see the quality of a movie before downloading it this is how you do it.

Open megasync, if you aren't already logged into a mega account do so now, right click on megasync running in your toolbar, click stream, click public link, enter your mega link & click ok, click choose application & make your way to program files then to the VideoLAN folder then VLC folder then click vlc.exe, VLC will open & buffer for a few seconds then start playing the file like it was on your pc.

thanks! but will the streaming stop in the middle due to 'bandwidth limit exceeded' thing?

YW, makes it nice with the BW limit you can see what a film looks like without wasting your quota.

except that streaming hurts your quota, just buy premium, the cheapest plan should be more than enough, it is for me at least

No different than downloading it does.

So it downloads the entire video file before it plays?

[-] Sunny_Cakes | 5 points | Jan 15 2018 00:07:37

No, it streams while it downloads.

is it downloading while streaming? what directory is it downloading to?

[-] ejm097 | 5 points | Jan 15 2018 02:41:14

Streaming implies downloading a temp file i think, in mega it gets saved in RAM.
