Notice for Mobile Device users​

While our network of sites may support Mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) visually, some video sources might not support a mobile device completely. While we strive to find hosts that are Mobile compatible, we are unable to officially support these devices completely. Devices vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so we will not be able to troubleshoot your mobile device if you run into issues watching a video. However, we would love to hear any feedback on video hosts that work well with your mobile device.

Notice for Gaming Console users​

Our site may or may not be compatible with your console. Video hosts may or may not work and we are unable to officially support gaming consoles. However, we would love to hear any feedback on video hosts that work well with your gaming console so that we can keep using them for game console compatibility sources.
