Plug-in

English (en)

Plug-in
A plug-in (or plugin, add-in, 
addin, add-on, or addon) is a 
software component that adds a 
specific feature to an existing 
computer program. When a program 
supports plug-ins, it enables 
customization. 

A plugin is a software add-on that 
is installed on a program, enhancing 
its capabilities. For example, if you 
wanted to watch a video on a website, 
you may need a plugin to do so. If 
the plugin is not installed; your 
browser will not understand how to
play the video.
