Welcome to Skinwel

We offer links to various TV channels in English, French or Chinese for free and without registration. Most channels are accessible without restrictions, however a few of them are geo-locked and accessible in some countries only.

How to play the channels

Most of the channels in the “Genres” section are embedded and will play in another tab without leaving our website (you just need to click to launch it).

To watch the other channels (mainstream channels plus a few others):

  • On your computer, you should add an extension (add-on) that allows your browser to read m3u8 (and or HLS) files. Some work better than others: you could try “M3U8 Finder and HLS player” for Chrome for instance.
  • On your phone: Android browsers should be able to play the channels directly. It is more likely to work with a modern browser and Android 9+. There might be some sound or image issues with some browsers or phones. Just try another browser. Xiaomi browser (phone version 17) and QQ browser work fine. Casting the channels to your TV from your phone should be convenient enough.
  • If instead of opening the video player, your browser downloads a small m3u8 file, open this file with VLC to play the channel.

We are currently using 2 video players. If the channel you are watching is using the video player with a white arrow in a blue circle, consider switching full screen directly to start playing the channel. If you play it first and then switch to full screen, 2 sessions will open and you will the sound will be echoed.

Disclaimer

The channels played on our website come from M3U8 links collected from the Internet (on sites such as https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/) or the channels’ website directly and we don’t host any content here. If any of the above links infringes on your copyright rights, they may be removed by sending a pull request on our Contact page. However, Removing links from our website will not make any changes to the contents that are hosting IPTV channels. To remove this content from the web, you should contact the web host that’s actually hosting these contents.

TV Apps

To access the channels using the TV Apps we recommend, you might need a US IP address (or a European IP address for Arte). Turn on your VPN.

Downloads

All m3u8 links used on Skinwel are compiled in this [TBD]. Download and open it with VLC. Then go to “playlist” to browse the channels.

Cheers from China and Enjoy!
