When it comes to OTT services, Netflix and Watcha were holding the market, but with the advent of Coupang Play, they are gradually expanding their influence. Honestly, when I used it at the same time as the release earlier this year, I saw a lot of lacking parts, but there was a gradual improvement, and now it is a service that can be used decently. Today, I would like to talk about Coupang Play, the TV connection mirroring function, simultaneous access information, and the PC version that I have used.
First of all, the basic frame is very similar to Netflix. There is a long list of TV shows and movies, and there are also many lecture videos for study. Most of the UIs inside OTT services are similar, so if you have experience using Netflix, you will be familiar with the screen.
It is also a method of using by adding a profile, and simultaneous access is possible for up to 4 people and up to 5 devices can be registered. I registered 3 iPhones, iPads, and Smart TVs. It is a little more tolerant of simultaneous access than other OTT services.

The biggest attraction point is that if you are signed up for Rocket Wow, you can automatically use Coupang Play. The price is 2,900 won per month, and it is very good that you can enjoy Coupang’s own rocket delivery along with content use. I also did not pay for Coupang Play, but as a user who pays for Rocket Wow every time, I am using it together because I can use Coupang Play. 윤과장의 소소한 일상 이야기
In particular, this time, along with soccer, various sports live broadcasts have been added. In addition to the Korean national team game, there was even an overseas Copa America video. It is definitely good news that you can even watch overseas soccer. You can also watch the Premier League and the Carabao Cup, but I think it’s okay to look forward to what will happen to La Liga and Bundesliga in the future.
Now watch normal on tablet
When I installed the iPad version at the beginning of the release, the resolution was not optimized. But now it’s optimized for the tablet screen, so you can watch it smoothly on the iPad. Some people use smartphones, but in fact, if you watch a video for a long time, there are more people using tablets such as iPads or Galaxy Tabs, so this part is also an element you should check.
When you play content, you can directly set the resolution or subtitles on the screen. These are very basic elements and not special features.
And this time, it is said that the PIP function has been added, but when I ran it, the video was played on a small screen in one space like this. It means that you can enjoy playing Coupang, even if it is small, even when taking notes or viewing other screens. Having used it at the same time as the release, I felt that it was improving little by little over time.
The official PC version is still
Many people are curious about the PC version of Coupang Play, but it is not officially in service yet. Some people use Nox Player or other app players to run it, but that’s just one of the half-way arounds because you can’t play 100% of all features. Now that the mobile and tablet parts have been optimized to some extent, I think it’s time to focus on the PC version.
Mirroring and TV connection?
Then, the way to see it on a big screen is to mirror it on a Chromecast or Smart TV. If there is no special tool, it would be okay to purchase and use a mirroring cable, right? Personally, when I watch a movie for a long time, I mirror it on my smart TV at home. Watching videos definitely tastes better when the screen is big.
In fact, if you have a smart TV, you can install Coupang Play on your own, so it’s good to play without mirroring. To be honest, I think it’s best to run it within the TV app because you have to consider the battery consumption of the mirrored device, such as a smartphone or tablet. If you register your device with an account, you can enjoy the same live broadcast as it is.
We briefly summarized the contents of simultaneous access, TV connection mirroring, and PC version while dealing with reviews of the new domestic OTT service, Coupang Play. At first, there was a negative view because it was lacking a lot, but I liked how it improved little by little, and in particular, Rocket Wow seems to have enough charm in that it is available for 2900 won per month. Just like the addition of live sports broadcasting, if we focus more on content elements in the future, I think we will be able to attract a lot more users. I hope the official PC version comes out soon 😀
