What is the Green Monster Kodi Build?

The Green Monster Kodi build is a third-party "all-in-one" addon suite that packages up tons of great video and program add-ons into one easy-to-use build.

It lets you avoid the hassle of manually downloading and configuring addons one-by-one. Instead, just install Green Monster and you immediately get access to a huge library of free movies, shows, sports, and more with just a few clicks.

According to Google Trends data, Green Monster has rapidly grown to become one of the most popular Kodi builds available today.

It was created by the same team that develops the Crew Kodi repository, which is trusted by thousands of Kodi users as a safe source for addons.

But what makes Green Monster so great compared to other builds out there?

Key Features and Benefits

Here are just some of the awesome features you get with Green Monster:

Easy navigation – Intuitive menu with sections for Movies, TV Shows, Sports, Live TV, Kids, Music, and more. Finding what you want to watch is super simple.
Great selection of addons – Comes pre-loaded with top video addons like The Crew, Venom, Scrubs v2, and many others. Tons of high-quality streaming links.
Frequent updates – The build stays maintained with frequent updates to fix bugs, add new features, and keep addons working properly.
Works with Real-Debrid – For premium streaming, you can integrate Real-Debrid for a massive library of 1080p/4K streams from file hosters.
Kid-friendly section – Dedicated section for children with family-friendly movies and TV shows. Great for parents.
Automatic scraping – Content like movie posters and descriptions are automatically downloaded for a nicer viewing experience.

Thanks to features like these, it‘s easy to see why Green Monster has become a go-to build for Kodi users who want an easy, all-in-one streaming setup.

Next, let‘s talk about whether or not it‘s safe to use…

Is Green Monster Kodi Build Safe to Use?

Whenever installing third-party Kodi addons and builds from unknown developers, it‘s smart to do some basic due diligence first.

While I haven‘t found any definitive evidence of malware or viruses associated specifically with Green Monster, it does fetch streams from unverified third-party sources. Some of these sources could potentially contain privacy threats or try to install other unwanted apps/software without your consent.

To give you an extra layer of comfort, I scanned the Green Monster repository URL through VirusTotal – a free online virus/malware scanner that uses 70+ different antivirus engines.

Here are the results:

VirusTotal found the repository to be clean and did not detect anything dangerous. This suggests it‘s likely safe to proceed with the installation.

However, I still recommend taking a couple minutes to install a good VPN on your Firestick or Android TV box before you use Green Monster. A VPN will encrypt all of your Kodi streaming activity so that your ISP or any risky addons won‘t be able to see what you‘re accessing.

My favorite VPN for streaming is Surfshark – it offers fast speeds, unlimited device connections, and works great with Fire TV and Android. Check out the step-by-step guide for installing Surfshark on Firestick here.

Okay, let‘s move on to the fun part – the full Green Monster installation walkthrough!

How to Install Green Monster Kodi Build – Step-by-Step Guide

Before we get started, make sure you have Kodi installed and ready to go on your Firestick, Fire TV, or Android TV box.

I recommend using the latest Kodi 19 Matrix as it has the best compatibility with most addons and builds like Green Monster.

Here are quick tutorials if you need help installing Kodi:

Once you have Kodi 19 set up, follow these steps to get Green Monster installed:

Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources

From the Kodi 19 home screen:

Click the cog icon ⚙️ to open Settings
Select System Settings
Choose Add-ons
Enable Unknown Sources

This allows Kodi to install add-ons from outside the official repository.

Step 2: Add the Green Monster Repository

Go back to the Kodi home screen and click Add-ons > Install from zip file
Click
Enter the following Green Monster repo URL:
```
 https://team-crew.github.io 
```
Name the media source something like "Crew" and click OK

This adds the repository that contains the Green Monster build files.

Step 3: Install the Crew Wizard

The Crew Wizard is what lets you browse and install Green Monster and other builds from the repo.

To get it installed:

Return to the Kodi main menu
Hover over Add-ons and click "Install from repository"
Select The Crew Repository
Go to Program add-ons
Install The Crew Wizard

Once installed, we can use it to grab Green Monster.

Step 4: Install Green Monster Build

This last part is easy.

From the main menu, open The Crew Wizard via the Add-ons section
Click on the Builds category
Select Green Monster (it‘s usually near the bottom)
Choose the Fresh Install option
Confirm the installation

Green Monster will now begin downloading and installing automatically. Give it a few minutes to finish based on your internet connection speed.

Once complete, close Kodi and relaunch it from your device‘s home screen. The Green Monster build interface should load up – you‘re all set!

The first launch may take a bit longer as artwork caches and addons initialize. But after that first-time process, Green Monster will be quick to start up.

And that‘s all it takes to get this excellent Kodi build up and running! Nice work.

Next, let me show you how to use Green Monster and take advantage of all its great addons and features.

How to Use Green Monster Kodi Build

The Green Monster interface makes navigating your full Kodi setup super intuitive.

Here‘s a quick overview of the various sections and how to find great content:

Home Screen Shortcuts

The home screen provides quick access to several key categories:

For example, click the Movie Reels icon to directly open the Movies menu. Use the Live TV and Sports icons to jump right into those sections as well.

This makes jumping to your favorite content lightning fast.

Main Menu

If you click enter on your remote instead of a shortcut icon, you‘ll open the elegantly-designed main menu:

Here you get categorized listings for:

Movies – Thousands of movies sorted by genre, release year, IMDB rating, etc.
TV Shows – Popular shows sorted by genre. New episodes updated frequently.
Sports – Live sports and sports replays & highlights.
Live TV – 600+ live TV channels covering sports, news, movies, and more.
Kids – Child-friendly content like cartoons, Disney movies, and educational programs.
Fitness – Workout videos and programs for getting into shape.
Variety – Mix of live radio stations, web shows, and other entertainment.

Plus additional sections for addon management, search, settings, and more.

Is Green Monster Legal? Should I Use a VPN?

When using third-party Kodi addons and builds like Green Monster, the question of legality often comes up. Here are a few key points:

The Green Monster build itself is 100% legal to download and install.
However, some of the addons it integrates may cross legal lines by providing unauthorized access to copyrighted content. It all depends on which sources the addons scrape streams from.
As the end user, it is your responsibility to avoid piracy. Use good judgment and make sure to only watch free, legal content through Kodi.
To protect your privacy and security when streaming, I strongly recommend using a VPN like Surfshark. This will encrypt your streaming activity and prevent snooping.

While I can‘t make any guarantees about the legality of all included addons, Green Monster does aim to focus on free, legal content from sites like YouTube and Reddit.

But it never hurts to err on the side of caution – protecting your privacy with a VPN is always a smart call when streaming free movies and shows.

Let‘s wrap things up with some common questions about Green Monster and Kodi builds in general.
