❓ FAQ

What is PreMiD?

PreMiD is a simple, configurable utility that allows you to show what you're doing on the web in your Discord 'now playing' (a.k.a activity or rich presence) status. PreMiD is not exlusive to Stremio, it supports tons of other sites as well such as YouTube, Netflix, 9anime, Steam, etc. Just have a look at their presence store.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with PreMiD in any way, it just turned out to be the best choice for this project.

Does this work with Discord mobile or web too?

No. Discord activities are only available on the Discord desktop client, so by extent the Stremio presence only works on desktop.

The presence settings are not loading

This is a known PreMiD issue that seems to occur occasionaly (on FireFox at least). Just go back to the main PreMiD extension menu and try again. You may need to wait a while, especially when it loads for the first time.

How do I activate thumbnails?

Enable it in:

PreMiD (browser extension) > Stremio > Settings (gear icons) > Show Thumbnail.

How do I hide the type of content I'm watching?

Sure 😏, enable privacy mode in:

PreMiD (browser extension) > Stremio > Settings (gear icons) > Privacy Mode.
