You will find detailed instructions to install DejaVu addon on Kodi. These instructions can be worked on all the devices that support Kodi. I have used Deja Vu on FireStick 4K, Fire TV Cube, FireStick Lite, Windows, Mac, etc.
DejaVu Kodi addon seems like a happy discovery at a time when so many popular Kodi addons have gone offline. This addon has a wide range of streaming categories for movies, shows, and other types of video content. I have been hearing good things about DejaVu on various forums. After having used it on various devices, I was sure I was going to write this guide. And, I have also included Deja Vu in our list of best addons for Kodi.
It takes only a few minutes to install DejaVu. The user interface of this addon is straightforward to use. You can browse content easily through the categories and nested subcategories. All in all, it is one incredible add-on to give a shot.
Attention, Kodi Users!
Kodi Addons and builds offer unlimited streaming content, but could also get you into legal trouble if caught streaming free movies, TV shows, or sports. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. Kodi users are strongly advised to always connect to a VPN while streaming online. A good Kodi VPN hides your identity, bypasses government surveillance, geo-blocked content, and ISP throttling (which also helps in buffer-free streaming).
I personally use ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is very easy to install on any device including Amazon FireStick. You get 3 months free and save 49% on its annual plans. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, you can always ask for a refund.

Third-party addons like Deja Vu can be easily installed on Kodi. However, you must first go into the Kodi settings and allow such installations. It is easy. Here is how you can do it:

How to Use DejaVu addon on Kodi
DejaVu appears to be a straightforward addon to me. You don’t need to do anything special to get started with it. In fact, unlike many other Kodi addons, it does not even have any settings to configure.
Go to Add-ons > Video add-ons to access DejaVu.
Here is the main window of the DejaVu Kodi addon.
There are a variety of categories for movies and shows including 4K UHD Movies, Debrid Latest Movies, Debrid Classic Movies, Latest Movies One-Click, 24/7 content and more. In addition, DejaVu also offers content for Kids, Documentaries, YouTube videos, Jukebox collection, Online Radio, and more.
DejaVu uses both scraping and torrenting technology to fetch the quality content for you.
I recommend pairing your premium Real-Debrid account with this addon for a better streaming experience.

You can click Authorise Debrid option on the bottom of the main screen to set up Real Debrid and other premium services.
Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.
NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.
So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.
Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.
The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.
Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).
Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).
Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.
Step 7: Click Download.
Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.
Step 9: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.
Verdict
When the popular Kodi addons started getting shut down, I started looking for more options. I would say DejaVu has been a lucky discovery for me. This addon is fairly new as I write this article and it looks very promising. It has a superb collection of movies and shows and a variety of other types of video content.
You will find many free streams on DejaVu. However, if you are looking to unleash the true potential of this Kodi addon, I would suggest you pair it with Real Debrid. It will work wonders with RD.
Deja Vu is as easy to install as it is to use. The content library sees regular updates. Therefore, you will always have something new to watch. I am also adding DejaVu to our collection of top Addons for Kodi.
