For iOS and tvOS users: Additional Notes on Auto-Renewing Subscriptions:

An auto-renewed subscription will be charged the same cost as the original subscription. You can turn off auto-renew at any time in your iTunes account settings, as long as you cancel the auto-renewal at least 24 hours before your subscription is set to renew. Please see slmedia.org/privacy and slmedia.org/termsofservice for more information.

I only want to watch the free content, but when I try to create an account on Roku/Amazon Fire, it tries to make me choose a subscription package.

We encourage all of our viewers to purchase a subscription along with their registration in order to receive the best possible experience that Salt + Light Plus has to offer. Every subscription comes with a 14-day free trial. However, if you would like to create a free account through Roku, Amazon Fire or on our mobile apps, simply follow the prompts to create an account until you get to the screen asking you to choose a subscription package. If you return to your settings at that point, your registration will have been successful but you will not be charged for a subscription, and you will now be able to watch a limited number of videos, including Masses, prayers, Vatican events, and promotional videos.

Do I need to have an app on my Android, iOS, Amazon Fire, or Roku device to watch Salt + Light Plus?

Not at all! Once you register and subscribe, you will be able to watch Salt + Light Plus directly on our website. However, our mobile apps will make it easier to watch on the go and have added functions (see below!), and all our apps will make it easier for you to watch Salt + Light Plus on your TV.

I downloaded the app through Amazon Fire, in Apple's App Store, the Google Play Store, or on Roku. Can I also watch on the website?

Yes. You can log in to the Salt + Light Plus website with the same account you created on your Roku, Amazon Fire, or mobile app.

I already have a Roku or Amazon Fire app on my phone. Why do I need a separate Android or iOS app?

We're pleased to provide multiple options for you to watch Salt + Light Plus! The Roku and Amazon Fire mobile apps do different things than the Salt + Light Plus mobile apps. The Roku and Amazon Fire apps only allow you to control the device attached to your TV, like a digital remote control. Our new Salt + Light Plus Android and iOS apps allow you to watch videos directly on your phone and organize a “favourites” list (see below).

I signed up through the website. Can I watch Salt + Light Plus on my Roku, Amazon Fire, or mobile app?

Yes. You can log in to the Salt + Light Plus app on Roku, Amazon Fire, Android, or iOS with the same account you created through the website.

On slmedia.org/slplus: At the bottom of the video itself, click on the [CC] icon and select

 “English” (for on-demand videos),  or “CC” (for live-streaming)
On Amazon Fire: once you press play,  press the down arrow on your remote control. This will allow you to scroll to highlight the CC button.

On Roku: press the ✱ button on your remote control, which will allow you to access closed captions and other options.

On Android and iOS: ensure the video is in “landscape” (horizontal) mode, tap on the video, and tap the ... icon in the top left.

Note: some videos do not have closed captioning available.

How many devices can be linked to one Salt + Light Plus account?

There is no limit to how many devices can be linked to one Salt + Light Plus account. However, only three devices can stream from one account at the same time.

Can I download shows to watch later?

No. It is not possible at this time to download shows and documentaries from Salt + Light Plus.

Can I create my own playlist?

No, you will not be able to create your own playlist. However, Salt + Light Plus does include curated playlists, some of which will change throughout the year to coincide with major Church or world events and liturgical seasons.

Also, our Android and iOS apps have a wonderful alternative! While you're watching a video, or if you've paused or haven't hit play yet, tap the “heart” icon on the right. This will add that video to your very own “Favourites” list, which you will see at the top of the home screen.

Salt + Light Plus appears on Roku under the name “Salt and Light Media.” To add Salt + Light Plus to your Roku device through the Roku website, click here.

I installed the app on Roku, Amazon Fire, Android or iOS, but all the videos are locked, even the ones that say “Free To Watch.”

That means you still need to register or log in!
