Get ready to roll some dice, Critters! The wait is finally over. Critical Role’s dedicated streaming platform, Beacon, is getting a massive upgrade that will revolutionize how you experience the show. After two years of patiently waiting, fans can now enjoy their favorite campaigns and one-shots directly on their smart TVs and download content for offline viewing.
Beacon Goes Big Screen: Smart TV Support Arrives!
For too long, Beacon has been confined to computers, tablets, and phones. But no more! As unveiled in a funky new trailer, Beacon is now compatible with popular smart TV platforms like Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, and Roku. This means you can finally gather around the big screen with your friends and family for a truly immersive Critical Role experience. While the company plans to expand to other devices based on user feedback, this initial rollout marks a huge step forward.
Offline Viewing: Your Adventures, Anywhere!
Another long-standing request from the Critical Role community has finally been addressed: offline viewing. Now, you can download episodes directly to your iOS and Android devices. This is a game-changer for those of us who travel frequently or simply want to enjoy Critical Role content without relying on an internet connection. Just open the video, tap the new download button, and access your downloaded content from the app menu. The team does recommend keeping the app open during downloads due to the length of episodes – nobody wants a cancelled download!
The addition of smart TV support and offline viewing is a testament to Critical Role’s commitment to its fans. It also highlights the impact of Alyssa Zeisler, who joined the company as general manager earlier this year with a focus on audience-first initiatives. With Beacon now offering more ways to enjoy Critical Role content than ever before, we can expect even more exciting features and changes in the future. So grab your dice, gather your party, and get ready for adventure – wherever you are!
