The platform provides access to content from SBT, including telenovelas, films, series, news programs and live broadcasts of the television channel.[3] It is available on mobile devices and smart TVs.[4]
History
SBT Vídeos (2020–2024)
SBT Vídeos was launched on 3 April 2020 as a free video-on-demand service requiring user registration.[1]
In September 2020, the platform began broadcasting Copa Libertadores matches. From 2023, it carried Copa Sudamericana games, including alternative broadcasts featuring Diguinho Coruja.[5]
In 2021, SBT established a partnership with A2 Filmes to expand its catalogue with films, series and animated content.[6] The platform also began offering full episodes of Mexican telenovelas shortly after their television broadcast.[7]
On 7 August 2023, the platform launched TV Zyn, a FAST channel aimed at younger audiences, in partnership with Amagi and AD Digital.[8]
+SBT (2024–present)
On 14 November 2023, SBT announced the rebranding of the platform as +SBT, with a planned launch in 2024.[9]
A beta version was released to employees on 8 April 2024. The service became available to the public in June 2024, initially on Android devices and Samsung Smart TVs, followed by iOS devices later that month.[4]
On 1 July 2024, the platform released O Picapau Amarelo, described in sources as its first original production.[10]
The official launch was scheduled for 18 August 2024 but was postponed to 19 August following the death of Silvio Santos, founder of SBT.[11]
In February 2025, the platform restructured its FAST channels, retaining a reduced number of channels including +Silvio Santos, +Pop, +Saudade, +TVZYN and +Novelas.[12]
In May 2025, additional changes were implemented, including the discontinuation of some channels and renaming of others.[13]
