BitTorrent Live

BitTorrent Live is here to make online broadcasting a breeze! It lets you watch live TV on your Mac without the annoying lag or setup issues. This app brings multichannel linear television right to your screen in an easy-to-use format.

Getting Started with BitTorrent Live

When you first launch BitTorrent Live, you'll see that you need to activate the app. There’s a special code just for you, and it’ll pop up in the main window. To activate it, head over to btaccounts.com/activate. Just type in the code you see there!

Activation Made Easy

A quick note: that link you see in the BitTorrent Live panel isn't clickable, and you can’t highlight the activation code either. So make sure to type it all out by hand.

Create Your Account

You’ll need a free BitTorrent Live account for this. Once you're registered, go back to the web console where you can enter your activation code. You can even activate multiple codes under one account! But keep in mind that BitTorrent Live doesn’t track which devices are active.

Navigating the Interface

The main window of BitTorrent Live is super simple to navigate. Just hover over the bottom area to explore video panels, upcoming videos, and your list of TV channels.

Some Limitations to Note

However, it's not all perfect—sometimes controlling those panels can be a bit tricky and frustrating. Currently, your channel options are limited; you've got NASA TV and France24 available, but they’re still working on adding more channels.

No Customization Options Yet

You won’t find any customization features here either; all you can do is check your account info in the settings panel. Plus, there’s no option to pause or resume playback—though at least you can mute when things get too loud!

The Future of Broadcasting with BitTorrent Live

BitTorrent Live aims to provide smooth live broadcasting for various channels without latency or other issues. Right now, they support a range of topics from news and sports to technology and music—but as of now, only two channels are fully functional.
