Joox was a video link site that allowed users to find online video content. Created in 2007 and shut down in early 2022[1], was the world's first popular website that streamed divX material from the host and provider stage6.[2] A relatively small number of streaming video sites were known when Joox first launched, and none used the divX format. It had no problem getting a wide user base because of the superior video quality and ease of use.[3]
Videos were submitted by users and put into selected categories based on moderator review. To watch a video the user needed to install the divX webplayer or VLC web browser plugin. Python/Spyce scripts could also be linked to the Joox database for browsing and playback in such applications as xbmc.
