element kodi build

This detailed review of the Element Kodi Build gives you the full rundown. You will learn how to use it on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV Box, and other devices.

We’ll tackle some important questions in this piece. Is Element safe and legal? And how exactly do you install it?

We bring up the legality of Element because it’s not in Kodi’s official repository. This often raises red flags.

The build has to be installed from a third-party source, since it can’t be accessed through Kodi’s official channels. We’ll show exactly how to do this with a screenshot guide below.

Currently, Element is among the few Kodi builds that work with Kodi 19.

You’ll find this build in the cMaN Repository. It also houses other popular builds, like Epix and the cMaN Build, which are compatible with Kodi 18.

Element relies on The Oath and Seren Kodi addons to stream content seamlessly. It provides excellent links, ensuring a buffer-free viewing experience.

This means you can connect your Real-Debrid account. Get ready for an amazing streaming experience.

For all these reasons and more, Element has earned a spot on our list of Best Kodi Builds.

Is Element Kodi Build Safe to Use?

My first step is always to check the repository URL with VirusTotal for any red flags. I want to make sure it’s safe before I install it.

Here’s a screenshot with the scan results.

VirusTotal didn’t detect any malware or suspicious files in the Element repository URL. That’s a good sign.

But it’s still crucial to protect your device. Especially when you’re streaming from an unverified, third-party build.

Kodi itself warns us during setup that these third-party add-ons and builds will access personal data stored on your device.

When using Element, the best way to ensure your security is to use IPVanish VPN. It’s a smart precaution.

When you stream or download with potentially risky builds, IPVanish creates an anonymous connection. This is especially true in cases like this.
