Tubi plays without an account. An account adds a watchlist, saved watch progress and better recommendations, and Tubi never asks for a credit card.

  1. Open Tubi from the Start menu.
  2. Browse the home rows, or use search to find a movie, series or live channel.
  3. Select a title and press play. Ads run during playback.
  4. To keep a watchlist, sign in or create a free Tubi account from the app.
