Watch on your TV

Here are three ways to watch on your TV:

OPTION 1: AirPlay or Cast

If you’re browsing Plot Twist Picks on your phone or tablet, you can send the film straight to your TV.

Step 1: Connect to Wi-Fi
Make sure your phone or tablet and your Smart TV (or streaming device such as Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV or Roku) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 2: Start the film
Press play on the embedded YouTube player.

Step 3: AirPlay or Cast
Tap the Cast button if it’s available in the player, or use your device’s AirPlay feature (iPhone/iPad) to send the video to your TV.

Step 4: Choose your TV
Select your TV from the list of available devices.

That’s it. You’re on the big screen.

OPTION 2: Use the YouTube app

If you prefer using your TV remote, or want to subscribe and save films to your watch history, use the YouTube app.

Step 1: Open YouTube
Launch the YouTube app on your Smart TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, Roku, Xbox or PlayStation.

Step 2: Search for “Plot Twist Picks”
Find our channel using the search function.

Step 3: Subscribe
Subscribe to our channel so new films and curated collections appear in your YouTube feed.

Pro tip
If you find a film on Plot Twist Picks that you’d like to watch later, tap Save or Watch Later in YouTube. The next time you open YouTube on your TV while signed into the same account, it’ll be waiting in your Library.

OPTION 3: Use an HDMI cable

If your TV doesn’t have any smart apps or wireless casting, or you just want the most stable connection possible, you can connect your laptop directly to your TV with an HDMI cable.

Step 1: Find the right cable
Most modern laptops use HDMI, USB-C, or Thunderbolt ports. If your laptop doesn’t have a standard HDMI port, you’ll need an adapter (USB-C to HDMI, for example) to bridge the connection.

Step 2: Connect laptop to TV
Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your laptop (or adapter) and the other end into an open HDMI port on your TV.

Step 3: Switch your TV’s input
Grab your TV remote and press the “Source” or “Input” button until you land on the correct HDMI channel (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2).

Step 4: Browse and play
Head to the Plot Twist Picks website on your laptop as normal, find your film, and hit play. Your laptop screen will now mirror onto your TV.

Pro tip
For the best sound, check if your TV’s HDMI port supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), or just plug a separate audio cable into your TV’s headphone jack if the sound only comes through your laptop speakers.
