K-Time now plays in the browser. You no longer need a TV box to start watching: open the web app at ktime.app/app, sign in, and Persian movies, series and live TV play right there — in Safari on an iPhone, Chrome on an Android tablet, or any browser on a laptop. There is nothing to sideload and no VPN to set up.
For the roughly half a million Iranian-born residents of the United States and the large community across Canada, this is the answer to a long-standing question — how to watch Persian content on the phone in your pocket, not only on a TV across the room.
Can I watch Persian TV in a browser now?
Yes. As of June 2026, the full K-Time catalog streams at ktime.app/app — Iranian movies, series and roughly 900 live TV channels, including the Iranian hub of Persian cinema and drama. You open the page, sign in once, and press play. The browser handles the video, so there is no separate program to install and no store to download from.
This is a real change. Until now, K-Time streaming lived on the television — a native Android TV app built for one remote. The web app brings the same library to every other screen you own.
What can you watch in the browser?
Everything in the K-Time library plays in the browser: Iranian films, full series with every episode, and live TV. Recent series like Vahshi and the long-running Shahrzad are there, alongside the Iranian comedies, dramas and thrillers the catalog is built around. Live channels — news, sport, music and family programming — stream the same way, with no extra setup.

Does it work on my phone and tablet?
Yes. The web player uses your browser’s own video engine, so it runs on an iPhone and iPad through Safari, on Android phones and tablets through Chrome, and on any Mac, Windows or Linux computer. The layout adapts to the screen — one column of large posters on a phone, a wider grid on a laptop. You scroll, tap a title, and it plays.
Because it is a website, there is nothing to keep updated. You always load the current version, and your watch history follows your account from one device to the next.
Do I need a VPN or an Iranian card?
No — and this is the part that separates K-Time from the services back home. There is no geo-block, so you do not need a VPN, and payment takes any foreign card. Filimo and Namava license their catalogs for inside Iran; they require an Iranian IP address and a Shetab bank card, which is exactly why they fail the moment you try them from Toronto or Los Angeles. K-Time was built for the diaspora, so the browser app works the same in Vancouver as it would anywhere else. If you have weighed the options for watching Persian TV outside Iran, this removes the last bit of friction.
Do I still need the TV app?
For the big screen, yes. The browser app is the right tool for your phone, tablet and computer; the Android TV app remains the best way to watch on the television — it is built for a remote and a ten-foot view, and it runs on Android TV, Fire TV, Google TV and the Nvidia Shield. Many households use both: the TV app in the living room, the browser on a phone in the kitchen or on a flight. For a device-by-device breakdown, see our guide to watching K-Time on every screen.
Watching on K-Time
The browser app is the simplest way to start — open ktime.app/app on whatever you are holding right now and create an account. For the television, install the K-Time app on Android TV, Fire TV, Google TV or an Nvidia Shield. And for parents or grandparents who would rather skip the setup entirely, the pre-configured K-Time دستگاه is sold at Iranian shops in the Greater Toronto Area — plug it into the TV, sign in once, and it is done. Whichever screen you start on, it is the same account and the same Persian library. New here? Our Los Angeles viewing guide is a good place to see what is on.
