How To log in to Hotstar on your TV? Launch the Hotstar app, choose “Login” or “Sign in,” and make a note of the code that appears on your TV to access Hotstar on your TV.
Here’s how to log in, and it’s generally a pretty smooth process:
1. Make Sure You Have the App
- Download the Hotstar app: If you haven’t already, go to your TV’s app store (like the Google Play Store on Android TV, the App Store on Apple TV, or the appropriate store for your smart TV) and download the Hotstar app.
2. Open the App and Start the Login
- Open Hotstar: Launch the Hotstar app on your TV.
- Find the Login: Look for a “Login” or “Sign In” button. It’s usually on the main screen or in a settings menu.
3. The Activation Code Method (Most Common)
- Get the Code: A unique code will pop up on your TV screen. You’ll need this in the next step, so keep it handy!
- Go to the Website: On your computer or phone, open a web browser and go to this website: https://www.hotstar.com/in/activate
- Enter the Code: Sign in to your Hotstar account on the website (the same account you use on your phone or computer). Then, enter the code that’s showing on your TV screen.
- Start Watching! Once the code is confirmed, your TV will be linked to your Hotstar account, and you can start streaming!
4. Alternative Login (If Available)
- QR Code: Some TVs might let you log in by scanning a QR code with your phone. If you see this option, open the Hotstar app on your phone, go to the account section, and look for a “Scan QR Code” option.
- Phone Number/OTP: You might also be able to log in by entering your phone number on the TV and then entering a one-time password (OTP) that’s sent to your phone.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Invalid Code: If the code doesn’t work, double-check that you’re typing it correctly on the website. Codes can be case-sensitive. If it still doesn’t work, try restarting the Hotstar app on your TV to get a fresh code.
- Internet Problems: Make sure your TV has a good internet connection. Try restarting your router if you’re having trouble.
- App Issues: If the Hotstar app is acting up, try updating it to the latest version or even uninstalling and reinstalling it.
- Content Restrictions: Some shows or movies might not be available in all regions. If you can’t find something, it might be due to licensing restrictions.
