How to watch JioCinema content on your television
What's the story
JioCinema, a popular OTT platform in India, offers a wide range of movies and shows. Not only can you watch the content on your smartphones and computers, but also on televisions. Whether you have a smart TV supporting the JioCinema app or prefer casting it from your handset, the process of watching is very simple. Here's a step-by-step guide for both methods.
Instructions
Watching via app and casting
To watch JioCinema on a smart TV, users have to head over to Google Play and look for JioCinema. Once they download and install the app directly on their television, they have to log in with their Jio credentials (phone number and OTP). For non-smart TVs, a Chromecast device can be plugged in. Users then open the JioCinema app on their mobiles, select the "Cast" option, and choose their Chromecast device to stream directly to their TV.
Options
Using HDMI cable
If you're using a laptop/phone without a casting feature, connect it to your TV via an HDMI cable. This way, you can mirror your device's screen on the TV and watch JioCinema on a bigger display. Once connected, browse through JioCinema's catalog and start streaming your favorite content in high quality.
Solutions
Troubleshooting common issues
While watching JioCinema on TV is a seamless process, users may face issues from time to time. If the JioCinema app isn't loading on your smart TV, restarting it and the internet router or checking for updates for the app/your TV's OS can help. Casting issues can be fixed by connecting your phone and Chromecast to the same Wi-Fi network. Audio/video quality issues can be resolved by checking HDMI cable connection or adjusting video quality settings within JioCinema app.
