Tips for screenings:

When you receive your unique encrypted link for the screening, make sure you click on the link from the device you will use to watch the movie. Play the movie on a computer using Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari or FireFox for easiest streaming. If you’d like to watch the movie on a TV, connect your computer using an HDMI or other connective cord. If you have AirPlay on your phone, you should be able to cast to your TV. If you are having issues, try refreshing your browser. If refreshing does not help, please contact support@amazonscreenings.com. Don’t forget to sign up by tomorrow night!
