Live TV with additional information
Are you a big winter sports fan, but will you be sitting on the train during the next important biathlon race? Thanks to the ZDFmediathek, you can still watch the battle for the podium positions live and don't miss a miss and no overtaking maneuver. The live streams of ZDF and its partner stations are available around the clock directly in the media library app. Everything you need for this: Internet access, your smartphone or tablet and possibly headphones.

On-demand videos: watch TV when you want
Missed your favorite show? Via the Android app you have access to the entire ZDF media library and can then catch up on it when it suits you. The films or series are available online for at least a week after broadcast - many formats even longer. You can choose from up to 30,000 on-demand videos. In the category "Last chance" you get an overview of the programs that will go offline shortly. Speaking of offline: If you do not have access to WiFi or a mobile data connection for a long time, you can stock up on your favorites in advance. For selected films and TV series, the usage rights allow you to view them offline in the app.

Interactive television thanks to the second screen
For selected programs - such as many sports broadcasts - the ZDF Second Screen provides you with useful additional information as part of the app. So you can switch between multiple camera perspectives during live football matches or access repetitions of certain game scenes as well as statistics. With talk shows, for example, the second screen enables you to participate in live voting or discussions on social media via direct access.
