Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about WatchMovies. Can't find yours? Contact us.
What is WatchMovies?
WatchMovies is a free catalog of movies and TV shows. You can browse the latest releases, the most popular and the top rated titles, find something with the filters or the search bar, and watch it with the players embedded on each title page.
Is WatchMovies free?
Yes. Every page of WatchMovies is free to use and there is nothing to buy or subscribe to.
Do I need an account?
No. There are no accounts and no sign-up. Your favorites are saved in your own browser.
Does WatchMovies store the videos?
No. WatchMovies does not store any video files. Playback comes from third-party services embedded in the page, which host the media themselves.
A video does not play. What can I do?
Choose another server in the list next to the player: each server is a different provider. You can also switch from Premium to Backup servers with the switch under the player. If nothing works, reload the page or try again later, since providers are sometimes offline for a while.
Why do I see ads in the player?
The embedded players belong to third-party services, which may show their own advertising. WatchMovies does not control what they show.
How do favorites work?
Press Favorite on a title to save it, and find it again on the Favorites page. Favorites are kept in your browser only, so they are not shared between devices and are lost if you clear your browsing data.
How do I find a specific movie or TV show?
Type its name in the search bar at the top of every page. To browse by genre, network, country, year, streaming service or rating, use the Filters page.
Can I use WatchMovies on my phone or TV?
Yes. The site adapts to phones, tablets, computers and smart TV browsers. On a phone you can also install it as an app: open the browser menu and choose Add to Home Screen (or Install app).
A movie or TV show is missing. Can I ask for it?
Yes, ask for it with the request form. The same form works for features you would like to see.
Where does the information about titles come from?
Titles, pictures, ratings and descriptions come from TMDB, The Movie Database, and are updated every day.
