Vidgo can be watched on iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, web browsers, and Chromecast. Getting started is simple. Check out the Vidgo User Guide on our blog The Stream for step by step instructions.

You can use up to 3 devices at the same time to watch your Vidgo service.

The Vidgo app for mobile or web will detect AirPlay or Chromecast capable devices on your local Wi-Fi network. This includes devices such as Google Chromecast, Apple TV, or smart TVs that embed Chromecast or AirPlay support. When an AirPlay or Chromecast capable device is detected, either the Chromecast or Airplay (or both) icon will appear in the app. Select the desired device to cast by clicking this icon. While casting, the video will not appear in the app but will play on the screen your casting to. You can press the casting icon again to stop casting, which will restore video playing in the app. While casting, you can switch channels using the Guide. When switching channels, it may take a brief moment for casting to start. Please note: Casting to a TV is not as fast as streaming in the app itself, but this is normal, so we recommend a bit of patience. If using a browser-based player, we recommend the Safari browser for AirPlay and Chrome browser for Chromecast. Please make sure to set your TVs input for the casting receiver device you are using.

Video subscribers can watch TV on their computer using a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

Step by step instructions are outlined in the Vidgo User Guide featured on our blog The Stream.
