Smart TV Set-Up: FORMED

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 casting via Chromecast or Airplay with Apple devices.

Note: At this time, formed does not support Chromecast devices that some TVs have built-in. While it may work, our player is not developed to support this and they cannot troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
