Find a steady surface
Place your phone on a firm table or shelf. If you use a stand, check that its base is flat and that a light tap on the screen does not make the phone wobble. Avoid balancing it against loose objects or near the edge of a surface.
Bring the screen to you
Sit or stand comfortably, then adjust the phone so you can see it without repeatedly leaning forward or looking down. Change the screen position before changing your posture to fit it. You should be able to read the captions from where you intend to watch.
Keep the controls close
Check that Play and Pause are easy to reach. Choose your sound setting and adjust screen brightness if reflections make the picture difficult to see. Keep charging cables clear of the space around you.
Before you press Play
Make three quick checks: the phone is steady, the picture is clear and the controls are within reach. If any of those changes while you watch, pause and adjust your setup.
Next: Watch with confidence.
