Stream over a mobile network

If you have a 3G or faster cellular connection, you can stream HBO Max over your cellular network using your mobile data. However, because streaming video uses a large amount of data you might want to limit streaming to WiFi connections.

To limit streaming over a cellular network:

1. Open HBO Max on your phone or tablet, tap the Profile icon (sign in if needed).
2. Tap the Settings icon (upper-left) and then Video Options.
3. To limit streaming to WiFi connections, turn on Stream Over WiFi Only.
   If you would like to get a warning before streaming over your cellular network, turn on Cellular Streaming Warning.
