PlayOn
Record streaming video from services like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and Prime Video for later
PlayOn provides two ways to record streaming video for offline viewing: PlayOn Cloud, a cloud-based DVR that records without a PC, and PlayOn Home, a Windows PC application that turns a computer into a DVR. Recordings can be watched offline on TVs, phones, and tablets, with support for casting to Roku, Chromecast, and Fire TV devices.
PlayOn Home supports recording from services including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, and Max, with unlimited recordings, automatic ad skipping, show subscriptions that record new episodes, one-click season recording, off-peak scheduling, and closed captioning. It also casts personal media from a Media Library. PlayOn Cloud offers full HD recordings, ad skipping on commercial-supported shows, closed captioning, series recording, off-peak downloads, and recording from anywhere.
PlayOn Home is a free PC-only app, while PlayOn Cloud is a subscription service with a monthly recording allowance and per-recording charges beyond that, available without a PC or Mac.
