HOW TO WATCH OUR ONLINE CLASSES ON YOUR SMART TV

There are lots of ways to watch our class videos on devices other than your computer!
Our videos are hosted on Vimeo and embedded into this website.

You can often cast videos onto your smart TV directly from your computer or phone via Bluetooth. How to do this will depend on you individual devices. Here are a couple helpful links:

 

If the options above are not working for you, you may want to try accessing the video via the Vimeo app.

Watch on the Vimeo TV App:

Step 1
Set up a free account at https://vimeo.com/upgrade

Step 2

  • In the same browser, open the video you want to watch, and on the top right corner, click the Clock Icon to Add To Watch Later list.
    – Phone App: This will be 3 dots, click this, and then the Watch Later button will show up at the bottom of the menu.
    – ​If you are on a computer and you don’t see the clock icon anywhere, try clicking on the video title which will open the video in a new window, and then you should see the clock icon on the top right.
  • Repeat this for each video, adding each video to your Watch Later List.
  • You only need to do this step once per video.

Step 3

  • On your Smart TV or Apple TV or other streaming device, load up your Vimeo App.
  • Sign in to your free account.
  • Access your private videos from the Watch Later list.
  • You’ll still need to enter the password for each video. Contact us for your special master password.
  • Now your videos will play on your big Smart TV!

Chromecast:

  • Download the most recent version of the Vimeo iOS app from the App Store.
  • Open the app on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Choose a video to cast, enter fullscreen, and tap the Chromecast icon.
  • Gaze at gloriously big Vimeo videos on your gloriously big screen.
  • Bonus: while a video is playing, you can continue to browse for more via your iOS device.

Watch on the built-in-browser:
If you have a Smart TV, such as Samsung, it may not be possible to log in or play the content from the built-in internet browser. In other words, it could work, but those browsers are not among our currently supported browsers. If you’d like to try, here are the steps to watch on a Smart TV’s browser:

  • On your TV, open the internet browser and visit the site.
  • Enter your email address, submit, and you will be emailed a link.
  • On a separate device (i.e. another computer or mobile device), open your email inbox, open the login email, and click the LOGIN link.
  • Go back to your TV browser, and you should be logged in to watch.

If these steps don’t work, then it’s likely that your Smart TV will not be compatible. In this case, you can try connecting your computer or mobile device to your TV using an HDMI cord or casting via Chromecast or Airplay with Apple devices.
