Step 2: Sign Up or Log In

Now that you have the Hotstar app installed, it's time to set up an account. You can either log in with your existing Hotstar credentials or create a new account. Simply follow these steps:

Tap on the 'Sign In' button in the Hotstar app. Select 'Sign Up' if you don't have an account. Follow the instructions to create a new account, which usually involves providing your contact details, creating a password, and verifying through email or phone. Log in using your email or mobile number and password if you already have an account.

Once you're logged in, you'll have access to a wide range of content from Star Sports and other channels.

Step 3: Search for Star Sports

The Hotstar app provides a comprehensive library of content from different sports channels, including Star Sports. To find the Star Sports channel, follow these steps:

On the Hotstar home screen, tap on the 'Explore' tab. Use the search bar at the top of the screen to search for 'Star Sports'. You can also look for specific matches, events, or channels. Once you have found the Star Sports channel or the content you want to watch, tap on it to start streaming.

The Hotstar app provides on-demand content, live streams, and highlights from various Star Sports events.

Step 4: Subscription for Premium Content

Some content on Hotstar, including Star Sports channels, may require a subscription. If you want to watch live matches or access premium content, you may need to purchase a Hotstar subscription. Here’s how:

Under the 'Explore' tab, look for the 'Live' or 'Subscriptions' section. Select the subscription plan that suits your needs.
