Watch on the website

  • ~ minute read

The VidAngel website is a great viewing choice and gives you full access to your account settings. To watch on the website, you will need to install our Chrome or Firefox browser extension to help maintain the connection to your subscription services. This extension will not work on mobile web browsers. After the extension is installed and the connections are complete, you may use VidAngel with the browser of your choice (but we do highly recommend using Google Chrome).

  3. Click on the white toggle buttons to connect to your streaming service(s) and you'll be prompted to download the Chrome browser and/or the VidAngel Extension. If you need more details on how to do this, go here: Connect streaming services on the website

Web Browsers on Mobile

We don't recommend watching through a web browser on your phone or tablet. This is in part because it will default to a mobile browser version. The VidAngel extension will not work on a mobile device, even if you switch to a desktop view; you will need a computer to install the extension.

If you're on a phone, you will have a better experience if you get our mobile app instead: Watch on a phone or tablet
