How to Install the Joker Builds on Kodi

When you are installing a third-party Kodi build, you must first allow the downloads from unknown sources. For that, a small change in the Kodi security settings needs to be made. So, here are the steps to follow before we get to the installation steps for the build:

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.

Overview of the Joker Kodi Build

We have installed The Bio-Hazard build. So, that’s the build we are going to look at. The other Joker builds are fundamentally the same with some differences in the interface and the Kodi addons they come with.

To use the build after the installation, run the Kodi app. You will notice that the build carries out some updates when you open it the first time. Allow it a few minutes to finish the updates. This will make sure the build runs smoothly.

Here is the user interface of Kodi with the Bio-Hazard Joker build:

As you can see, Bio Hazard is a minimal and lightweight build. Therefore, it works great on all the devices, including FireStick, which has moderate specs.

You can get started with the build by choosing the desired menu options. Here are the menu items you can use for streaming purposes:

• Movies
• TV Shows
• Sports
• Kids
• Live TV
• Music

Besides the above, here are some of the utility menu items:

• My Apps
• Search
• Faves
• System

The build also has a submenu underneath the main menu. The submenu displays the options based on the menu item you have selected. For example, when you choose Movies, the following submenu options are displayed:

• Reviews and Trailers
• Most Popular
• Genres
• Year
• Search

The build does not display any suggested content or the addons on the home screen. If you are looking to browse the content by add-ons, select System in the main menu and click Add-on Browser in the submenu. Now, navigate to My add-ons > Video add-ons

Here is the list of the addons that come preinstalled with this Joker Kodi build:

DeathStar, Numbers, Fen, The Magic Dragon, SportsDevil, are some of the popular addons with this build.

Wrapping Up

Joker Builds are not very popular at this time but the Wizard hosts some decent Kodi builds. If you have been using the old Kodi builds, you may find some of these builds refreshing. You can install the Joker Kodi builds quite easily from the Joker Wizard. These builds come with many preinstalled add-ons too. Worth a try!
