These days, it is a trend to use various OTT services. Examples include Netflix and Disney+. However, there is a trend to use Coupang Play a lot, thanks to the recent popularity of SNL. At the time of the first release, it was only available on mobile, but after an update, it was also released as a PC version in mid-July 2021.
Today, we have organized information that you might be curious about, such as ① the price of Coupang Play, ② simultaneous access, and ③ the PC version.
1. What is the price? 쿠팡플레이 PC
As some of you may already know, you must be signed up for Coupang Wow membership in order to use the OTT service. The current membership price has been increased from 2,900 won to 4,990 won on December 29, 2021. Therefore, you have to pay 4,990 won per month to use it.
2. Can I access Coupang Play at the same time? 윤과장의 소소한 일상 이야기
Yes you can! According to the official FAQ, from September 1, 2021, one account will support simultaneous viewing on up to ‘2 devices’. However, if there is an attempt to simultaneously view more than *2 devices, you should be careful as it says that viewing will be blocked from the third device onwards.
In addition, according to Article 10 of the Terms of Service, **The ‘scope’ that can share an account is limited to family members, so you should also refer to this part.
3. How to use Coupang Play PC?
For the PC version, you must use the official website. You can easily find it by searching on Naver. I will put the link separately below.
And when using on a PC, Internet Explorer is not supported. Recommended browsers include Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari. In an era where Explorers are not used as well as now, there is no big problem. (Because you can use chrome anyway!)
Having come this far, let’s take a look at how to use it on Coupang Play PC. Clicking on the link will take you to the Coupang Play website. Click ‘Use’ to proceed.
*However, if you do not have a WoW membership, you can select ‘Experience’ at the bottom.
If you are a WOW member, it takes less than 2 minutes!
If you are already a WoW member, the process after that is not too difficult. Simply [Login] → [Agree to terms and conditions and personal information] → [Add and select profile] → [Connect] is the end of the process.
After completing the login process, you can enjoy the video at your leisure. I tried playing SNL KOREA season 2 when it came out. By the way, are you requesting adult certification? You don’t have to panic and go straight to your mobile.
It’s annoying that you have to do adult authentication separately, but it can’t be helped. For reference, adult authentication is only possible on ‘mobile’, so if you register for Coupang Play for the first time, it is better to proceed on mobile rather than PC.
All you have to do is enter brief personal information (name) and phone number to verify your identity.
A message appears stating that age verification has been completed. Certification results are valid for one year. (If that’s the case, maybe it’s a story that you have to authenticate again after a year..?)
For those of you who are curious about the configuration of Coupang Play PC, we have prepared it. Korean TV variety shows and dramas are the mainstream, and the number of overseas dramas and movies is still small. If you move on to the movie corner, the 2nd to 9th places are full of Harry Potter series.
Clear viewing is possible.
It was nice to be able to watch videos on a larger screen than mobile devices on Coupang Play PC. Of course, there are ways to watch using a TV (Google Chrome Cast, mirroring, etc.), but using a laptop or PC is the best method for structures where it is difficult to put a TV in, such as in a home-made room.
PC function: audio, subtitles, resolution, playback speed adjustable
You can see that the functions provided on the PC are virtually the same as on the mobile. Today, we looked at Coupang Play simultaneous access, price, and PC version that people might be curious about. Hope this post helps 🙂
