Users can now sign up and log in using their Apple, Google, or Facebook accounts across all supported platforms. This feature simplifies the onboarding process and enables seamless access across web, mobile, and TV devices.
What’s New?
A new welcome screen has been rolled out across all platforms. It offers a streamlined, visually improved interface with clearer options for signing in and creating an account. Social login buttons are prominently featured to make the process more accessible.
Supported Platforms
Web, Android, iOS, Google TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku
Additional Improvements
Easier TV Login
Scan the new QR code on your TV to log in through your mobile device. No more typing with the remote needed!
How to use?
Now across every platform when you signup or login you will have the option to use a social auth provider. Keep in mind that if you already have an account with an email associated with a social auth provider you will still need to login with your email and password and will be unable to create a duplicate social account.
Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy the new Social Sign On feature!
