Do you want to learn how to watch Masterclass on TV? This guide will cover everything you need to know.

Masterclass is one of the best online learning platforms. With celebrities like Gordon Ramsay, Christina Aguilera, Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Hadfield teaching on the platform, it’s like learning from your heroes.

Within a few clicks, you can learn writing, acting, singing, cooking, and gardening from the greats.

However, let’s say you want to watch a few Masterclasses with your friends and family. If several people join you to sit behind a computer or laptop screen, then it’ll get real uncomfortable quickly. It can also get in the way of learning life-changing skills.

Luckily, you can watch Masterclass on TV without any hassle. Depending on what type of TV you have, it’ll only take a few minutes to enhance your learning experience. 

In this post, I’ll walk you through how to watch Masterclass on your TV. I’ll also cover how to do this on different types of TVs, so you can read the chapter that’s most relevant to you.

How To Watch Masterclass On An Android TV

Watching Masterclass on your Android TV is straightforward. After turning your Android TV on, head over to the Play Store. Here you’ll find hundreds of apps to choose from. 

Simply type in Masterclass and download the Masterclass app. The download and installation only take 15 to 30 seconds, depending on your internet connection and what type of Android TV you own.

Once the Masterclass app is finished installing, open it and sign in to your Masterclass account. If you don’t have an account yet, feel free to sign up for one. 

You won’t have to invest in an all-access pass immediately. Masterclass offers a 7-day free trial to access all features, including PDF workbooks and audio materials, so you can work at your own pace. 

After this free trial, you can decide if you want to sign up for the annual membership. Even after you’ve made the payment, you’re still eligible for 30-day money-back guarantee.

Next, you’ll be greeted by your Masterclass dashboard. You might recognize it since it looks similar to the dashboard you find on your desktop or mobile device.

Here you’ll get access to practical courses like:

• David Baldacci Teaches Mystery And Thriller Writing
• James Patterson Teaches Storytelling
• Werner Herzog Teaches Filmmaking And Screenwriting
• Neil Gaiman Teaches The Art Of Storytelling

Click on whichever Masterclass you fancy, and prepare to learn from some of the greatest minds. You can also download their PDF workbooks and read through them on your TV.

How To Watch Masterclass On An Apple TV

To watch Masterclass on your Apple TV, head over to the Apple TV Store and search for Masterclass. Keep in mind that you must have a 4th generation Apple TV or higher for Masterclass to work.

Once your Masterclass app is installed, navigate to the login button. You’ll be taken to a page with a code on top and a QR code at the bottom. You have a choice between two login methods:

1. Use your mobile device to take a picture of the QR code. This will open a link where you can log in.
2. Head over to your web browser and type in www.masterclass.com/appletv. This gives you the option to enter the code you see at the top of the TV, which logs you into the app.

Regardless of which option you chose, you’ll be taken to the Masterclass dashboard, where you can select classes from your favorite instructors. From here, the interface is similar to what you’ll see on an iOS device.

On top of that, you’ll get the option to search for different classes and instructors using your Apple remote control. Once you’ve decided which class to watch, you can navigate to the PDF workbooks and download them as a reference for later on.

How To Watch Masterclass On Amazon Fire TV

If you’ve never downloaded the Masterclass app, you’ll want to head over to your favorite app store and install it. This takes 15 to 30 seconds and once complete, it’ll automatically sync to your Amazon Fire TV, allowing you to access your favorite Masterclasses.

Once you find the login screen, you’ll see a message instructing you to go to Masterclass.com/activate on your browser and enter the code given to you.

After entering the code on the login screen, your TV screen will automatically go to your Masterclass dashboard where you can watch new classes or resume any video lessons you never finished.

But before you start watching classes, consider heading over to settings and looking through your Fire TV app version number, Privacy Policy, and support email, in case you experience any future problems logging into Masterclass via Amazon Fire TV.

How To Watch Masterclass On A Basic TV

If you don’t have an Apple TV, Android TV, or Roku TV, and you can’t connect your TV to the internet, then don’t worry. There’s a simple solution.

You’ll need to get your hands on an HDMI cable. You can get it on Amazon for a few bucks. Simply insert one end of the HDMI cable into the appropriate slot on your laptop and connect the other end to the TV.

Now, you’ll need to click the “Source” or “Outlet” button on your TV and navigate to HDMI. Once this is complete, you’ll be able to see everything on your TV that you can on your laptop.

This way, all you have to do is log into your Masterclass account, play your favorite video lesson, and watch it on TV. If you don’t know what to watch, consider these trending Masterclasses:
