A look at ElBee Player

Click a channel and it plays right in the spotlight, lighting the page with its own colours.

Features

Everything you watch, in one place

Built natively for macOS, so it's quick, light on energy and at home beside your other apps.

Live TV & TV Guide

Click a channel and it plays right in the spotlight. A scrolling guide shows a week ahead, with reminders. Catch up on what you missed in the Catch-Up tab, start the programme on now from the beginning, or rewind live TV from its timeline.

Movies & Series

Rich detail pages, one season at a time, resume points, Skip Intro, and Up Next as the credits roll.

Multi-View

Watch up to four channels at once, side by side, each one playing on its own.
