You can watch films for free on YouTube – completely legally. There are various YouTube channels available to you for this purpose.
Netzkino, Cinenet and Co. – watch films on YouTube for free
YouTube gained fame mainly through music videos, sports sessions or funny clips. What many (still) don’t know: You can also watch entire films on the platform – and 100 per cent legally. This is possible via certain YouTube channels, which assure the platform that the films offered are licensed from the rights holders. The channels are financed by advertising in the videos.
- Our trick: In the USA, users can watch free films legally – and with advertising interruption – via YouTube. With a VPN, you too have the option of accessing US services, such as YouTube, from Germany. There are many VPN providers, including NordVPN, Surfshark or CyberGhost VPN.
- But there are also many German YouTube channels where you can stream films legally. You don’t need a VPN for this, but can simply play the films via the platform. Netzkino is one of the best-known and largest channels offering German-language films. Here you will find a wide selection of films – from romantic comedies with Jennifer Love Hewitt to thrillers with Daniel Craig.
- Cinenet also offers a diverse range of well-known and lesser-known movies. Here you can find films from different genres such as romantic comedies, action, horror, westerns or thrillers.
