As mentioned, the way to watch TV on your cell phone is through the GloboPlay app. However, through it you can only watch Globo TV, apart from all the extra movies and series on the platform. Therefore, it is not possible, for example, to watch exclusive content from other broadcasters through it.

The app follows the Freemium model, meaning it has both free content and exclusive content for those who choose to subscribe. The app, which is essentially a streaming service similar to Netflix, is available for both Android and iOS.

On it, you can watch live or recorded segments of the station's programs completely free of charge. This includes news programs, soap operas, series, miniseries, sports programs, and even soccer games.

To watch Rede Globo programming, you need to register, either through the app or the website of your choice. The process is very simple, and you can even create an account using Facebook, which greatly speeds up the process. Below I will leave the link to download GloboPlay.

You will be redirected to the official website.

However, as mentioned, the available content will be limited as this is a free account. Therefore, a subscription is required if you wish to enjoy all the content, thus making the experience of watching TV on your mobile phone more complete. Check the next section for available subscription plans.

GloboPlay: Subscription Plans

To access the exclusive content, a subscription is required. This subscription can be made with two payment plan options: monthly or annual.

Basic Plan (with ads): The simplest subscription plan costs R$ 22.90 per month, or R$ 178.80 per year (R$ 14.90 per month). This plan provides users with content from Rede Globo plus series and movies. It offers the opportunity to watch up to 3 shows simultaneously and the freedom to add up to 2 family members.

Most Expensive Plan (no ads): The most robust subscription plan, therefore also the most expensive! It costs R$ 39.90 per month, or if you prefer the annual plan it costs R$ 358.80 (the month costs R$ 29.90). Globo has adapted to the market and managed to lower the price over the years, making it accessible to people, in addition to being full of benefits. The same benefits as the basic plan, plus the freedom to watch live and exclusive Premiere games, 19 channels to watch wherever you want, and up to 4 people can be included in the plan.

However, these are not the only plans available; there are other options with common elements but with some different bonuses, such as Live Channels, Premiere, etc. Check out all the available plans here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about GloboPlay, the app that lets you watch TV on your phone.

1. Is GloboPlay a paid service?

Do you have to pay to use GloboPlay? The answer is no! Just like downloading the app, it's free, although with limitations on the available content. Check out what's free:

News programs, variety shows, sports, reality shows, soap opera clips, and comedy programs. These are the ones that can be accessed in recorded format, but it's also possible to watch TV Globo and the Futura channel live through the app (only in Brazil!).

For all other exclusive content within the app, a subscription is required to “access” it.

2. How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions can be made through all platforms where GloboPlay is available: Android, iOS, and the website. Similarly, subscription cancellations must be made through the platform where the subscription was originally purchased. Click here to see how to cancel on the various platforms.

It's important to remember that if you subscribed annually, you must cancel it, but since the payment has already been made, the service will remain available until the contracted period expires. For example, if you subscribed in December but canceled in February, the exclusive content will remain available until December.

3. Other Questions

If you have any further questions, simply access the ” Help Center ” on GloboPlay itself. After all, a number of previous questions have already been answered there, and if your question is not answered there, you can also ask your own question.

While this app allows you to watch movies and series, that's not its primary function; its main purpose is to be a messaging app. That's right, I'm talking about Telegram. Through it, you can not only watch your favorite series and movies, but also exchange messages without leaving the app. The app can be downloaded from your app store free of charge. Once inside the app after registering, simply type the name of the movie or series in the search bar; if the movie is available, it will appear. Click to watch.

However, if you don't have anything in mind to watch and want to browse a “catalog” to choose from, simply type something like “movies to watch” or “series to watch” into the search bar. Once you do that, you can join a group dedicated to this type of content where several catalogs are usually available for free viewing…
