Is it on the 3rd or the fourth? The advertisements say the 4th. but the Globo schedule says the 3rd???

Definitely scheduled for 21:45 PM on Saturday the 4th of May in Rio (BRT timezone).

Which works out to be 1:45 AM on Sunday the 5th of May for me in the UK (BST timezone).

I signed up with Google (cause the other option asked me to scan a QR code to download the app which is unavailable here) and it's asking me to pay. I'm stuck there

Can you try using this link here (from my original post) on a desktop or laptop browser like Google Chrome? It should allow you to sign up for a free Globoplay account to gain access to TV Globo without any issue.

This is the first screen you should see:

Then when you click the 'Create an account' hyperlink towards the bottom of the page, this should be the next page:

That Globoplay link just gives me a blank gray screen. Like, the Globo logo appears for a sec and looks like it's loading, but then the screen is just gray and empty. I even registered for an account and have my VPN set to Brazil 

What browser are you using, and do you have browser extensions installed or run any browser scripts?

I don't experience this issue in Google Chrome unless I have all my browser extensions and scripts enabled and running (I use/run a LOT for work reasons). Ad-blocking extensions or ad-blocking scripts in particular can really mess things up. If I have all of them disabled in incognito mode and use an incognito window to access TV Globo I have zero issues.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, the only other thing I've noticed is that sometimes choosing to translate the page can fuck with it and cause loading issues. This is only really overcome by not letting your browser translate the page at all, not letting your browser translate the page until it's fully loaded, or by letting it do its thing and refreshing a few times.

So forgive my ignorance on these things.  I'm in Seattle and I got the Globoplay app and it plays free content (I haven't gotten a paid subscription). I just used my Google account to get set up.  The Celebration Tour isn't showing up, though.  So does that mean I need a VPN to connect to Brazilian servers to see the show?

Yes its that, without a vpn into Brazil it doesn't show up.

If you're able to view/watch the TV Globo channel via the Globoplay app without a VPN, you should be good to go based on the information provided about the broadcast so far.

When you say 'The Celebration Tour isn't showing up though', what exactly do you mean by that? Isn't showing up where? The broadcast is currently scheduled to begin on TV Globo at 21:45 PM (BRT) on Saturday 4th May.

Done! I've changed my VPN, and changed the PC clock to Brazilian area and now I'm watching Globo TV live on my laptop!! So excited! 

And yes, the translator made problems to load the website on different moments of the process, so better deactivate it!

You have to skip the phone no and google "forgot password globo.com". There you can change your password and it should work then to log in. Your VPN must be set to brazil and activated while signing up and login in.

Everything works on WEB for me, just GloboPlay app is not available in Lithuanian region. 

[Kieran 1,164]

In the UK - I have the Globo app with free account. There is a list of ‘live channels’ and only one of them seems to work with the free version - CBN. 

Do I need a VPN to even see the Globo TV channel as an option? Is that the name of the channel which will broadcast the show?

thanks for any help 🤗

Ah, I tried in Incognito mode and I can see selections now! Thank you for the tip. Hopefully I'll be able to manage from here at the time of the broadcast.

Looks like I am all set up now with VPN and the free account with Globo

Can we get a tutorial about how to ask for a refund on NordVPN after the show is over? 😅

Unfortunately I don't see any listing for CBN - I only see it in the programme listings for Multishow (a paid-for channel) and TV Globo (a free channel):

Being completely honest with you, I'm not your girl for diagnosing/figuring out the Globoplay app. I did just have a quick look at the app on my phone for you (I'm also in the UK), and even when I'm logged in and have my VPN set to Brazil, I can't watch TV Globo. It might just be that my phone settings and/or app store settings need adjusting to Brazil too, but I don't particularly want to mess with that because I can see myself forgetting to switch it all back and then not getting up for work tomorrow. Hopefully someone else can help confirm for you.

I found getting set up on my laptop (via web browser and VPN, as per the featured post) a lot more straightforward.

Guidance here on their website, but logging in and hopping onto live chat is the easiest way (apparently).

I'm finding it so hard to do I got the globoplay app but can't see the listings

I still want to run another test with a couple of friends tomorrow, but in theory, yes*.

*With the caveat that nobody watching along with me gets mad if there are technical issues. I don't usually have any issue hosting various watch parties for friends across the globe, BUT I can't be certain how everything (the Brazilian servers I'll connect to AND Globoplay) is going to cope/hold up on the night with Lord knows how many of us connecting to/using them.

Why is it Thursday and yet no banner or such about the live broadcast on the Globoplay landing page?  I would think they would have whored this out all week before the broadcast?  Even when I do a search for the broadcast nothing comes up when I access the Desktop version of https://globoplay.globo.com/

@honestlyhlfam I missing something?

Once you are logged into Globo how do you set it to English?

I don't think there is an option.  But Google sometimes can set certain pages for you, but I don't know how to do it manually, as many times, I get a pop up box that asks me if want Google to translate the page for me.
