How to Watch VOCO TV IPTV on VLC Media Player (M3U Guide)
Good news: VOCO TV fully supports VLC media player. If you already have VLC on your computer, phone, or Firestick, you can start watching VOCO TV's 25,000+ live channels in about two minutes, with no extra app to install.
VLC is free, trusted by millions, and runs almost everywhere. It plays your VOCO TV M3U playlist directly, which makes it perfect for watching on a laptop, testing your connection, or catching a match at work. Here is exactly how to set it up.

What you need
- An active VOCO TV subscription or free trial.
- Your M3U playlist link, which is in your VOCO TV activation email.
- The free VLC media player (version 3 or newer), available from VideoLAN, the official VLC website.
- An internet connection of at least 15 Mbps for HD, or 30–50 Mbps for 4K.
How to watch VOCO TV on VLC (Windows & Mac)
- Get your VOCO TV M3U link. Copy the M3U playlist link from your VOCO TV activation email. If you do not have a subscription yet, choose a plan or request a free trial on WhatsApp.
- Install VLC. Download the free VLC media player from videolan.org on Windows, Mac, or Linux, or install it from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, or Amazon Appstore.
- Open Network Stream. In VLC on Windows, choose Media > Open Network Stream (Ctrl+N). On Mac, choose File > Open Network (Cmd+N).
- Paste the link and play. Paste your VOCO TV M3U link into the URL box and click Play. VLC loads the full channel list.
- Browse channels. Open the playlist with View > Playlist (Ctrl+L on Windows, Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) and double-click any channel to watch it.
Tip: save the playlist so you never paste the link again
Once the channels load, choose Media > Save Playlist to File and save it as an .m3u file. Next time, just double-click that file to open VOCO TV in VLC.
VLC on Android, iPhone & iPad
- Android: install VLC from Google Play, open the Browse tab, tap New stream, paste your VOCO TV M3U link, and tap the arrow to play.
- iPhone & iPad: install VLC from the App Store, open the Network tab, tap Open Network Stream, paste your link, and tap Open Network Stream again.
VLC on Amazon Firestick
VLC is also available free in the Amazon Appstore. Search for VLC on your Firestick, install it, then use New stream and paste your M3U link (typing is easier with the Amazon Fire TV phone app as a keyboard). For a full TV guide on Firestick, we recommend TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro instead. See how to watch VOCO TV on Firestick.

Fixing common VLC problems
- "Your input can't be opened": copy the full M3U link again from your email and check your plan is active.
- Buffering: in VLC go to Tools > Preferences, set Show settings to All, open Input / Codecs, and raise Network caching to 3000 ms. See our buffering fix guide for more.
- Channels list is slow to load: the full list is large; give it a few seconds the first time, then save the playlist to a file as shown above.
