Streaming: ask about region first, then whether to get a card

Last updated · MPChat Team

The catalog is not determined by the payment tool. A virtual card is only useful when the checkout page asks for a card; it cannot turn the Taiwan catalog into another country's catalog.

Quick read

  • A virtual card only handles payment; it cannot change the Taiwan catalog to another country's catalog.
  • Catalog, region, and payment are three separate things. Separate them before deciding whether to get a card.
  • This site does not teach region switching and does not encourage circumventing licensing.

The two things most often confused in Taiwan searches

  • Thinking that changing the card lets you watch content from other regions
  • Equating who pays for a family plan and who can watch at the same time with the card's issuing location

When an account is flagged by risk controls, changing the card usually does not help.
