Recent upgrades to the video players on sydneyswans.com.au means all video content should now be available to view on tablet and smartphone devices, including the iPhone® and iPad® - providing your operating software is not too old.
A recent Kantar Media study found that about a third of Australia’s 11 million sports fans follow and consume sport through mobile devices, and the introduction of the new video player allows fans visiting the Swans website through tablets and smartphones to share a similar fan experience to those using a regular computer.
The new video player is one of many changes that will take place on sydneyswans.com.au over the coming months as we try to offer our supporters the best possible digital experience.
As well as through the Official Sydney Swans App, presented by Volkswagen, SwansTV content can be played on the iPhone via Safari by following these steps:
| • When you enter ‘sydneyswans.com.au’ into the Address Bar, you may automatically be sent across to ‘m.sydneyswans.com.au’ (seen in Image 1) which you won’t be able to access SwansTV content through. |
