The SnapStream web player is a browser plug-in required for the playback of MPEG-2 Transport Stream recordings.

For both Windows and Mac clients, the web player installs as a browser plug-in. This allows it to be installed at the user level, which means it can be installed without admin privileges.

Prerequisites for the web player can be found here:  https://support.snapstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/214548448
