  • A Mac running a recent version of macOS
  • A stable internet connection
  • Your BritishStream subscription details from WhatsApp

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. 1

    Download a compatible player

    Use the player application recommended in your BritishStream setup message, from the Mac App Store or the developer's official site.

  2. 2

    Install and open it

    Drag the app to Applications if needed, then launch it.

  3. 3

    Enter your details

    Add the login or playlist details we sent you on WhatsApp.

  4. 4

    The channel list and on-demand library load and you're ready to watch.

Troubleshooting

macOS says the app is from an unidentified developer

Only install apps from official sources. If macOS blocks a legitimate app, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

Buffering

Prefer Ethernet or sit closer to your router, and close bandwidth-heavy apps.
