Whether you’re opening the app for the first time or settling in for your next binge session, our streaming service makes it easy to find something great and start watching right away. This guide walks you through every step of the playback experience, from launching the app to controlling subtitles mid-episode.

​
Start Watching

1

Open the App or Website

Launch the app on your phone, tablet, or smart TV, or open your browser and navigate to the streaming service website. Sign in with your email and password if you aren’t already logged in. If you stay signed in, you’ll land directly on your home screen.
2

Browse or Search for a Title

From the home screen, scroll through curated rows such as Continue Watching, Trending Now, and New Releases. To find something specific, select the Search icon (magnifying glass) in the top navigation bar and type a title, actor, genre, or keyword. Results appear instantly as you type.
3

Open the Title Page

Click or tap any title thumbnail to open its detail page. Here you’ll find a synopsis, cast information, episode lists (for series), content rating, and available audio and subtitle languages. If you’ve already started a title, a Continue Watching progress bar appears on the thumbnail.
4

Press Play

Click the large Play button to begin watching from the beginning, or select Resume to pick up where you left off. For series, the player automatically queues the next unwatched episode. You can also choose a specific season and episode from the episode selector below the description.
5

Adjust Playback Before or During Viewing

Once the player opens, move your cursor or tap the screen to reveal the playback controls overlay. You can change audio language, subtitle language, and video quality before the video reaches full speed — or at any point during playback. See the Playback Controls Reference section below for a complete breakdown.
6

Sit Back and Enjoy

The player hides its controls after a few seconds of inactivity so nothing interrupts your view. Move your mouse or tap the screen at any time to bring the controls back. On supported TVs and browsers, the video continues playing even if you switch to another app, as long as picture-in-picture is enabled.
Your exact playback position is remembered across all your devices. Start a movie on your phone during your commute and pick it up exactly where you left off on your TV at home.

​
Playback Controls Reference

Use the interactive controls overlay or the keyboard shortcuts below to get the most out of your viewing experience.
Click the Pause/Play button in the center of the controls bar, or press Space on your keyboard. Playback pauses immediately and resumes from the same frame when you press it again. On mobile, double-tap the center of the screen to toggle pause/play.
Drag the progress bar scrubber left or right to jump to any point in the video. A thumbnail preview appears above the scrubber as you drag, so you can find the exact scene you want. You can also:
  • Click anywhere on the progress bar to jump instantly to that position.
  • Press the left arrow key (or swipe left on mobile) to rewind 10 seconds.
  • Press the right arrow key (or swipe right on mobile) to skip forward 10 seconds.
  • Use the Skip Intro and Skip Recap buttons that appear at the start of episodes to jump straight into the action.
Hover over the volume icon on the controls bar to reveal the volume slider, then drag it to your preferred level. Click the volume icon itself to toggle mute on and off. On your keyboard, press M to mute or unmute. Note that your browser or device system volume also affects playback — if the player volume is at 100% but audio is still quiet, check your system volume.
Click the CC / Subtitles button (speech-bubble icon) in the controls bar to open the subtitle menu. Choose from any available language, or select Off to hide subtitles entirely. Closed Captions (CC) tracks include descriptions of sound effects and music for viewers who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Your subtitle language preference is saved to your profile and applied automatically on future titles.To customize subtitle appearance — font size, color, background opacity — go to Account → Accessibility → Subtitle Style.
Click the Audio button (headphone icon) to switch the spoken language or audio track. Many titles offer multiple dub languages as well as the original audio with subtitles. Dolby Atmos and stereo tracks are listed separately when both are available; select Dolby Atmos for the best surround-sound experience on compatible devices and speakers.
Click the Settings gear icon and choose Quality to manually select your preferred resolution: Auto, SD (480p), HD (720p), Full HD (1080p), or 4K UHD (2160p). Auto is selected by default and adjusts quality in real time based on your internet speed. See the Video Quality guide for data usage estimates and HDR requirements.
Click the Full Screen button (four-corner arrows icon) or press F on your keyboard to expand the player to fill your screen. Press Escape or F again to exit. To enable Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode — which floats the video in a small window while you browse other apps — right-click the video (on Chrome/Edge) and select Picture in Picture, or click the PiP icon if it appears in the controls bar.
When an episode ends, a Next Episode card appears and the next episode starts automatically after 5 seconds. Click Play Next immediately to skip the countdown, or click X to cancel autoplay and stay on the end card. You can disable autoplay entirely under Account → Playback → Autoplay Next Episode.

Watch on Your TV via Cast or AirPlay

You don’t need a smart TV app to get content on the big screen — you can cast directly from your phone or computer.

​
Chromecast

  1. Make sure your Chromecast device and your phone or tablet are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open the app and start or browse to a title.
  3. Tap the Cast icon (rectangle with Wi-Fi waves) in the top-right corner of the app.
  4. Select your Chromecast device from the list. Playback moves to your TV instantly.
  5. Use your phone as a remote control — pause, seek, and adjust volume from the app while the video plays on your TV.

​
AirPlay (Apple Devices)

  1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV.
  2. Start playing a title in the app or in Safari on your Mac.
  3. Tap the AirPlay icon in the player controls, or open Control Center on iOS and tap Screen Mirroring.
  4. Select your Apple TV or AirPlay TV from the list. The video switches to your TV in seconds.
4K and HDR content is only available when casting to a device that supports those formats. If your plan doesn’t include 4K, the stream plays in the highest resolution your plan allows.

​
Keyboard Shortcuts (Web)

These shortcuts work in any modern browser when the player is in focus.
On Windows, you can also use the media keys on your keyboard (Play/Pause, Previous, Next) to control playback in any browser — no need to click inside the player window first.
