What is OTTplay?

OTTplay is a comprehensive and reliable guide to movies and shows aimed at helping people find things to watch across an increasingly fragmented streaming landscape. It will act as a search engine for streaming content across OTT channels. No need to open streaming apps one by one, search for titles, watch trailers etc. Besides listing thousands of movies and TV shows, it will offer a number of smart filters (genre, price, ratings, and release year) to make browsing smoother and faster. It will let users know if a title is paid or free along with the service where users can watch/rent/buy/subscribe. We offer our own subscription bundles that you can check and subscribe to.

OTTplay now offers bundled subscription plans on the platform itself. If you buy one of those, you would be able to stream them directly on OTTplay. Otherwise, we redirect you to the platform where the content you wish to watch is available.
