How to Install Estuary Build on Kodi in Under 3 Minutes

The guide focuses on how to install Estuary Build on Kodi. However, I would also briefly cover what Estuary Build is all about, its safety of usage, its legality, and a brief overview of the build. The steps demonstrated in this article apply equally to all Kodi-compatible devices, including smartphones, Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV Cube, Computers, Rasberry Pi, and Nvidia Shield. 

What is Estuary Build?

Estuary Switch is a lightweight Kodi Build that works with Kodi 20 Nexus. It offers you a wide range of movies, including 4K movies, Paranormal TV, and various genres of episodes and shows.

You name a new show or movie from across the world in the most popular languages, and you will find it with Estuary Build.

Estuary Build also offers the unique feature of not altering the Kodi home screen. That means that the switch uses the original Kodi interface, unlike other builds. It enables you to access all Kodi options right from the home screen.

Is Estuary Build Safe?

We don’t have a definite answer to the safety aspect of Estuary Build since it’s a third-party service. Unfortunately, we do not have adequate tools to know whether it’s hundred percent safe. However, I can say that the build has been safe for me. I have been using it for weeks and have come across nothing fishy.

For your reference, I have run a test on VirusTotal and found no security vendors flagging the source URL of the build as malicious or unsafe.

I suggest you also run a test on any trusted source on the web and find out the results for yourself. It’s always best to get assured before using a third-party build.

Is Estuary Build Legal?

The legality of Estuary Build is yet another aspect I would not assure you of. Unfortunately, most third-party builds come from unverified sources. But this is something you don’t have to worry about. Using the best VPN service, you can safeguard yourself and your system from any possible legal hassle.

You will find several good VPN services available on the internet. If you ask me, I have been using ExpressVPN for a long time, and it works fairly for me.

Please note that I do not condone piracy or copyright violations. I am recommending a VPN to maintain your privacy.

How to Install Estuary Build on Kodi

To save you time and make it easy, each of the steps mentioned below on how to install Estuary Build on Kodi is followed by a screenshot. Please ensure that you do not miss any step. The process may look a little extensive here, but it will not take more than five minutes to install the build. Let’s start.

Part 1: Enable third-party installation

Let’s quickly change a Kodi setting before the installation.

1. On the Kodi home screen, press on System Settings Gear Icon.

Disclaimer: The URL you see above hosts the Crew Repo. The Crew is a third-party repo, and FireStickHow.com is not associated with it. The URL takes you to an external source.

So, this is how you install the Estuary Kodi Build.

Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on Kodi. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. They use your IP address 44.210.200.165 to track you. Streaming free or copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can use a VPN to easily protect your privacy and go invisible from your Government and ISP. I use and recommend ExpressVPN with Kodi.

ExpressVPN is the fastest, most secure, and streaming-friendly VPN. It is easy to install and set up on any Kodi device, including FireStick, Smartphones, PCs, and more.

ExpressVPN, offers an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee. So, if you do not like the service (I don't see why), you can get a full refund within 30 days.

Please remember that we encourage you to use a VPN to maintain your privacy. However, we do not condone breaking copyright laws.

Before you start using Kodi for streaming, here is how you can protect yourself with ExpressVPN:

Step 1: Sign up for ExpressVPN Here

Step 2: Download ExpressVPN on your device by clicking HERE

Step 3: Open the ExpressVPN app on your device. Sign in with your account. Click the connect/power button to connect to the VPN

Great! You have successfully secured yourself with the best Kodi VPN.

An Overview of Estuary Build on Kodi

After the installation of Estuary Build, you will see a new look and feel of your Kodi. It would look like the following screenshot.

You can see there are several items you can select from. For convenience, a SEARCH box is there for you. Here you would find all sorts of movies and shows.

I see some of my loved movies enlisted here. You can search for yours. In addition, I found a few shows that are not readily available anywhere else. You have a different section to search for the shows you want to watch. For example, you have 4K shows, comedy, drama, and weekly shows, to name a few.
