The software or extension named “Meet My Video Viewer (Formerly My Movie Browser)” does not exist as a major, widely recognized consumer app, browser extension, or service.
It is highly likely that this specific phrasing refers to one of the following: 1. A Custom Developer Project
The exact name matches the structure of personal learning projects built by independent software developers. Developers frequently use public APIs like The Movie Database (TMDB) to build portfolio apps (often named “My Movie Browser” or “My Video Viewer”). They often rename them as they add features like video playback or video call integration. 2. A Malicious Browser Extension (Adware/Phishing)
Malware and adware developers frequently release low-quality browser extensions on storefronts like the Chrome Web Store using generic, shifting names (e.g., changing from “My Movie Browser” to “Meet My Video Viewer” to bypass automated web store filters).
These extensions often advertise themselves as tools to track watch histories, find movie streams, or alter video playback.
In reality, they are often used to hijack browser search engines, inject advertisements, or track user browsing behavior. 3. A Misremembered Mix of Different Services
The name heavily blends several entirely separate video and streaming tools:
Google Meet: A mainstream Google video communication service used for video calls, which includes feature modes like “Viewer Mode”.
Teleparty (Formerly Netflix Party): A highly popular browser extension that rebranded from a movie-focused name to sync video playback and chat rooms across streaming sites.
Movie Browser: A generic name used by multiple third-party tracking utilities on the Google Play Store and independent media servers. ⚠️ Safety Recommendation
If a website or a popup is prompting you to download an update or an extension called “Meet My Video Viewer,” do not install it. Phishing campaigns frequently disguise malicious device-control files or malicious browser extensions as video viewers or platform updates.
If you already have this extension installed in your browser, it is highly recommended to remove it via your browser’s extension settings menu and run a malware scan.
To help narrow this down, where did you encounter this name (e.g., a browser popup, a tech tutorial, or your extension settings)? If you are looking for a tool to watch videos with friends or organize your movies, let me know so I can suggest safe, official alternatives.
