how to watch masterclass on tv

As someone who’s used the app for a couple of years now, there are lots of reasons I prefer to watch Masterclass on my TV instead of on a computer, tablet, or phone:

  • TV can provide a more immersive experience, especially when watching documentaries or learning about a new topic.
  • It’s easier to follow along with the video content when it’s larger on a screen.
  • If you have family or friends over, they can also watch the class with you on the TV.
  • Some people find it more comfortable to watch classes in bed or on the couch rather than sitting at a desk

In the guide below, I’ll outline exactly how to watch Masterclass on your television, going over options that range from using built-in apps on your TV or streaming device to casting from your phone and more.

How to Watch Masterclass on TV: 5 Simple Steps

The good news is it’s pretty easy to start watching Masterclass videos on your TV. You don’t need to be tech savvy to get going.

Here’s how to watch Masterclass on TV:

1. Sign up for a Masterclass subscription

The first thing you need to do before you can start watching Masterclass on your TV is to actually sign up for an account.

It’s super quick and easy to get a Masterclass account.

Visit the signup page and fill out a quick form with your email address and billing info.

Make sure you enter a valid email address as this is where your account will be sent.

It’s worth noting that Masterclass does not offer a free trial at this time. Masterclass plans start as low as $15 per month (billed as an annual membership at $180/year) and include unlimited access to all classes. The only difference between the different plans is how many devices you can stream on at the same time.

In most cases, however, the cheapest plan is all you need.

  1. There doesn’t seem to be any way to have master class remember what you are watching so you have to hunt around for the class you are taking each time you log in. Is there a “My Stuff” capability
