It is this program, its capabilities and the cost of different packages, the features of connecting and refusing services, as well as possible problems during operation that will be discussed in this material.
Watching films
To watch movies, Megogo uses a very convenient player that creates a home theater effect. It is quite concise, but has all the necessary functions.
The film can be paused, fast forward or backward. The player also has the ability to set the appropriate quality, turn subtitles on or off, add to favorites and share the movie on social networks.
On the page of each film there is a short description of the plot, a rating of the film according to KinoPoisk and IMDd, information about what translations are available and in what language the subtitles are available.
You can also watch the entire cast of the film, trailer or photos. When you click on the photo of any actor, the site will display a short biography and his entire filmography. There is an opportunity to leave a comment, rate the film positively or negatively.
In addition, Megogo, based on the films you have watched, suggests what else you can watch.
You can search for films:
- By name. If the viewer has decided on a specific film, then its name needs to be entered in the site search. It will give you possible options.
- By popularity, novelty, recommendations. In this case, all films are sorted depending on the criterion.
- By year, country, genre. If the user does not know what movie he wants to watch, then he can simply indicate, for example, a specific genre. And the system will display all films with such a filter.
- The site also offers various selections, for example, “Movies of 2016”, “Keeps in suspense”, “Funny comedies”, “Spectacular action films”, “Everything like in life”, “popular on Megogo”.
Megogo presents the newest films of the year and the best films on the main page.
Registration of a personal account
Online cinema can be easily connected via a computer or laptop. If your plans include viewing the site using different devices, you should first register a personal account and only then connect other gadgets.
Registration of Megago via a computer is available regardless of what operating system is installed on it, as well as what browser is used. Creating a personal profile can be done in two ways. Let's look at each of them in detail.
The first registration method involves performing the following actions:
- We write down the name of the site in the search engine or enter the address of the main portal megogo.ru.
- In the upper right corner we find the key that says “Login” and click on it.
- On the login page that opens, find the phrase “Registration” and click on it to go to the registration page.
- In the form that opens, write down your email or phone number. You must use real information, otherwise you will not be able to confirm the creation of your personal account when you receive a code in an SMS message or email.
- We create a password that will be used in the future for authorization and write it down in the appropriate window. It must contain at least 6 characters.
- Write down your nickname (made up or real name).
- We put a check mark in the empty box to confirm that a real person is registering.

The second way to register is to do the following:
Viewing options
Any movie you like can be added to your favorites so as not to lose it. To do this, you just need to select the “Add to Favorites” option in the open player. Then this movie can be seen in the “Favorite Movies” or “Favorite Channels” menu.
If for some reason the user has not finished watching the film, it can be found in the “I’m watching” tab. You can also see all the films you have watched there.
- "Pre-order" option. It allows you to be one of the first to see the film premiere. A film purchased via pre-order will be available for viewing immediately after its premiere on Megogo. You can find out the premiere date on the film poster or its description.
- Movie rental. Any film that requires its purchase can be rented for 7 days. In this case, the cost is significantly less than the cost of buying forever. But you need to watch it within 7 days, otherwise the film will be blocked. You can watch the film an unlimited number of times, but within a week.

Advice! Before taking any action, it would be a good idea to contact technical support and get expert advice.
Megogo LIVE and TV series
There are not many series on Megogo in subscriptions, but some can be found in interactive channels in the corresponding genre. Judging by the number of films and TV series, we can say that Megogo specializes more in films and domestic TV series.
You can search for television serial films by title, genre, year and country of release. The series group also includes various shows.
Megogo LIVE gives you the opportunity to watch the most spectacular concerts, sporting events, and various shows. There are several categories: rock, electro, folk and hip-hop, bright fusion, lyrics, classics, tank bloggers, Megogo apartments, shows, dance battles, educational, sports and e-sports.

Thus, the amount of 5.99 will be debited from the card next month. To prevent this from happening, you need to cancel the automatic renewal in your personal account.

- Watching popular federal channels, including foreign ones.

Paid services
If you use a Smart TV from Samsung, Philips, LG, Sony, Panasonic, TCL or Toshiba, in the main menu of the smart TV you will see applications such as Netflix, MEGOGO, Ivy, Zoomby and others.
All these applications are online cinemas that provide the opportunity to watch movies in the best quality.
You can work with these applications either for free (trial subscriptions, promotions, special offers) or for a fee.
You can purchase your favorite tariff plan for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months.
The more channels and movies available, the higher the subscription cost.
In online cinemas you can watch not only films, but also your favorite TV channels.
As practice shows, the average cost of subscriptions to online cinemas is much cheaper and more profitable than satellite TV or using the services of a city provider.
This is why many users are switching to this option for watching TV.
What features are available in the online cinema:
- Watching movies from a ready-made library. It is very convenient to search for films by genre, country of release, rating and other parameters. There are tens of thousands of movies available in the libraries and they are all presented in the best quality. The list will not include the latest new releases and premieres that are being shown in cinemas, but there is still a lot of content. This content is available after purchasing a subscription and does not limit the user on how many movies he can play;
- Watching TV channels. In the online cinema you can find all the channels in your country, region, or even foreign stations. The main advantage of watching TV channels on smart TVs is the ability to play your favorite programs in recordings, rewind them and view a menu with a show schedule for the whole week;
- Watch the premiere. Online cinemas enter into agreements with film studios, which allows them to sell viewings of the premieres of films that are currently shown in cinemas. Even if you have not signed up for a paid or free subscription, at any time you can open the tab with premieres, select a movie and buy it for little money (usually the cost does not exceed the price of a one-time ticket to a movie theater). As a result, you get the opportunity to watch the latest cinema without leaving your home. Also, all purchased films are assigned to your account and can be played for free an unlimited number of times to watch with family or friends, which is much more profitable than regular trips to the cinema.
More detailed information about each of the online cinemas is provided below.
MEGOGO
MEGOGO is the largest service in Eastern Europe for watching movies and TV channels.

Netflix
Netflix is the world's largest media holding, which includes a TV channel of the same name, and is also a company that produces its own series, films, and shows.
All Smart TVs have a client program for Netflix installed.
The company has more than 120 million users worldwide.
Currently, Netflix has a rather low level of integration in the Russian-speaking market.
Subscription prices are much higher than in domestic online cinemas.
At the same time, the most current premieres and famous world series can be watched first on Netflix.

Positive reviews
There are quite a lot of reviews about Megogo, but most come down to the following points:
- The application can be used on several objects at once: TVs, smartphones, tablets. It is very comfortable. After paying for the subscription, all films are available on every device. All you need is an Internet connection.
- Convenience, ease of connection and use. Anyone can figure this out. Everything is available and listed on the website.
- Availability of varied content. There is no need to constantly search for films on the Internet, just go to the site and find the movie you need. New items appear quickly.
- There is no need to connect a separate TV, only the Internet is required. All you need to do is set up Megogo.
Negative reviews
There are plenty of negative reviews about Megogo on the Internet, here’s what they write:
- Debiting funds from the card for purchases that were not made. Many users complain about unjustified withdrawals of money. At the same time, films that no one purchased are highlighted in the purchase history.
- After the promotional month of subscription, the full cost of the subscription fee was debited from the card. This is also a very common complaint against Megogo.
- You have to pay extra for new films; they are not included in the subscription. Many movies, especially new or popular ones, are only available after purchase.
- Block channels that are frequently viewed.
- When traffic on a site increases, content often begins to slow down and freeze. Due to the large number of visitors on the site, it is impossible to watch films, as they are frankly “buggy”.
- There are a lot of movies and channels in subscriptions that are completely unnecessary. This angers many users.
- Many of the most popular TV series are missing.
- Inability to download purchased films. If the company closes or the site disappears, then the paid films will disappear.
Basically, all negative reviews are related to automatic debiting of money from the card. Of course, maybe this is some kind of trick on Megogo’s part: set the subscription to automatically renew after paying for the promotional first month. But they warn about this when paying on the Megogo website and the information is indicated in the agreement.
To cancel automatic renewal, you need to go to your profile and uncheck the box. You just need to carefully read the terms of promotions and discounts, then nothing extra will be written off. You can always unlink the card and delete data on all bank plastic cards.
One of the inconveniences is the ability to pay only by card. You cannot pay for subscriptions and films from electronic wallets or other methods.
Why does Megogo not work on a Samsung TV?
Users of Samsung smart TVs often experience problems with Mego. This is usually due to an application glitch; rarely, the problem is with the TV itself. If megago stops working or freezes, check to see if other apps are working. If they work, then the problem is in the video service itself.
Megogo errors are accompanied by:
- the appearance of a black screen is the most common problem for Samsung TVs;
- the program freezes;
- cannot log into the application;
- the application “kicks out” the user and displays a system error.
To reduce the risk of problems, you must register as you install the application, following the instructions. That is, you first need to download Megogo through the store, then log in and then set the rest of the settings.
Why doesn't ivi work on a smart TV?
How to buy cheaper
There are several ways to subscribe cheaper:
- Megogo often runs various promotions, providing the first month of subscriptions almost free. They are held jointly with telecom operators and banks. For example, in the middle of this year, Megogo and MTS merged and created a single subscription. You can also see the Megogo online cinema on Beeline TV.
- Watch movies that are provided for free. Even if you have to see commercials along with the film.
- Be careful and read the agreements so that there are no surprises.
