## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **VidMate** is a third-party app, so it cannot be installed directly from the Play Store like most other apps. Before you may install, you must first download the APK file from a reputable source.Before you begin the installation, you must first activate Unknown Sources, which allows apps to be installed from sources that Google considers unknown.To enable the option, go to **Settings > System > Security > Unknown Sources** on your mobile device, depending on the make and model.
- It's worth noting that VidMate is only compatible with BlueStacks 3, so make sure you get the proper emulator otherwise your installation will fail.
