Log in using your preferred devices. The international version provides both a web version and standalone apps. The usage entry points listed in the official iQIYI help documentation include websites, mobile phones, TVs, and iPads; whether an app can be installed on a TV depends on the TV's built-in app store.[View official device instructions](https://intl-help.iq.com/m/v2/app/questionInfo/29317.html) Find a familiar show first. After logging in, search for a show or variety program you usually watch, confirm that the page plays normally, and then adjust the subtitles and image quality.

After starting playback, open the player's subtitle menu and select the language you need; if a specific episode lacks the expected subtitles, check the available options for that episode first, then check the platform's help section, rather than repeatedly reinstalling the app. Image quality can also be adjusted according to the network environment. Choose higher resolution when Wi-Fi is stable; if buffering occurs frequently during playback, lower the quality by one level to see if it becomes continuous, then check the router distance and other download tasks on the same network.
