T&C Trigger — install the extension

The Trigger extension captures the video in your current tab straight into the T&C download queue. Installing takes about a minute.

⬇ Download the extension · zip · Mac & PC

First-time install

Same two steps on Mac and PC — there is no installer, the zip is the extension.

1

Download, unzip, and put the folder somewhere permanent

  1. Download the zip with the button above.
  2. Unzip it — Mac: double-click the zip. PC: right-click ▸ Extract All…
  3. Move the unzipped folder to a permanent home and name it something clear — not Downloads or the Desktop. For example:
    Mac: /Users/<you>/Documents/TC Trigger Extension
    PC: C:\Users\<you>\Documents\TC Trigger Extension

Load it into Chrome

In Chrome (the picture below shows each of these clicks):

The visual walkthrough of this step.
  1. Paste chrome://extensions into the address bar.
  2. Turn on Developer mode (toggle, top-right).
  3. Click Load unpacked and select the folder from step 1.
  4. Pin T&C Trigger from the puzzle-piece menu and sign in with your T&C account.
Do not move, rename, or delete the folder afterwards

Chrome loads the extension from that folder every time it starts. Moving it breaks the extension.

Updating

When a new version is announced, open the extension folder and double-click the updater for your computer — it downloads the newest build and replaces the files in place:

Then quit Chrome completely and open it again — it picks up the new version automatically.

First update only — your computer will ask once

Mac: macOS blocks downloaded files the first time. When it says Not Opened, click Done (not "Move to Trash"), then open System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Security (down by the bottom) ▸ click "Open Anyway" next to the file, then confirm. Never asked again. (Older macOS: right-click the file ▸ Open ▸ Open.)

PC: if Windows shows a security warning, click Run (or More info ▸ Run anyway).
