How do I request filters for a movie or show on VidAngel?
Don't let a missing title slow you down! We love hearing what you want to watch with filters. Requesting titles helps us know what our customers care about most—the more requests a title gets, the higher it climbs on our priority list.
NOTE: You don't need a current VidAngel subscription to make a request, but you do need an account. See: An account vs. a subscription

We wish we could give you an exact timeline, but honestly, it depends! Here's what affects the timeline:
Request popularity: Popular titles with tons of requests jump to the front of the line, while hidden gems with fewer fans might take the scenic route. Think of it like a theme park—the more people waiting for a ride, the more likely we are to fast-track it!
Copyright research: Every requested title goes through our research process to make sure it's one we're legally able to filter. Copyright ownership can be trickier than you might think!
Release timing & streaming availability: We also consider when titles are released and where they're available to watch.
Popular weekly episodes
For episodes of popular shows released weekly, each episode goes through multiple rounds with actual humans creating the filters to make sure we don't miss anything.
Typical timeline: If technology cooperates, we usually have filters for new episodes within 24–72 hours of the episode's release.
You can request any movie or TV show you'd like! However, there are some factors that determine whether we're able to create filters for your request. You can read more about that here: "The title you requested is one we're unable to provide."
