Why does a channel sometimes fail to play?Playback
Broadcaster CDNs occasionally block browser origins or go offline for maintenance. FarsiTV Live automatically probes each stream and switches to backup URLs or a secure proxy. If a channel still fails, try again in a few minutes or open /health to see live status of every stream.
The player starts muted. How do I unmute?Playback
Browsers block unmuted autoplay until you interact with the page. Tap anywhere or press M to unmute — after your first interaction on the page, we auto-unmute for you.
How do I go full-screen?Playback
Use the full-screen button on the player, press F on desktop, or double-tap the video on mobile. Works on iOS Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
Does it work on my phone?Mobile
Yes — FarsiTV Live is a Progressive Web App. Tap Install app in the top bar (or Add to Home Screen from your browser menu) to launch it like a native app, full-screen, with an icon on your phone.
How do I save my favorite channels?Account
Tap the star icon on any channel to add it to Favorites. Your list is stored locally on your device — no account required — and appears under the Favorites tab on the home page.
Can I set a reminder for a show?Account
Yes. Open a channel and use the Alert button on the player to schedule a reminder. When it fires, the player switches to that channel and (optionally) shows a desktop notification. Configure lead time and sound in Alert preferences (footer).
Do you host or own the streams?Legal
No. FarsiTV Live is a directory that links to publicly available broadcaster streams. All copyrights belong to their respective owners. See our Disclaimer for details.
