For fashion schools and model agencies
Runway Now TV is a web page that plays runway shows by itself. Open runwaynow.live/tv on a screen, press fullscreen and leave it on: runway replays play back to back, and every official live stream takes over the moment it starts. Free, no account, nothing to install.
Set up in 3 steps
Any computer, smart TV browser or streaming stick that can open a web page works.
On the computer or TV browser connected to the screen, go to runwaynow.live/tv. No account, no app, no install.
Press the fullscreen button in the top bar, then click “Tap for sound” once: browsers only allow sound after a click. Press ? or the keyboard button to see the shortcuts.
Replays of the current season play back to back. When an official live stream starts, the screen switches to it with a 3-2-1-0 countdown, and goes back to replays when it ends.
Who it is for
A shared screen turns fashion week into something the whole team sees at the same time.
Students and teachers follow the shows as they happen, together, instead of on a hundred separate phones. Good for lessons that start from a collection that premiered an hour ago.
Bookers, scouts and casting teams see which houses are live right now across Paris, Milan, London and New York, on a screen in their own workspace, without anyone having to watch a laptop.
What the screen does
Built to be left running during Paris, Milan, London and New York fashion weeks.
The shows of the current season play automatically, one after the other, and start again from the top.
When a house starts its official YouTube live stream, the screen switches to it. The viewer count is shown next to the Live badge.
A timer in the top bar counts down to the next scheduled live, so people know when to come back to the screen.
A list of the season’s videos sits at the bottom of the screen. Arrow keys change the video, and +1 / +5 / +10 / +30 minute buttons skip forward.
Subtitles are on by default when the video provides them. An optional alert with a sound tells you when a live starts.
The page asks the browser to keep the screen awake, hides the mouse cursor after a few seconds and remembers your settings.
Connect it to the TV
Pick whichever is already in the room.
The simplest setup: plug the laptop into the TV, open the page, go fullscreen.

Use Chromecast (cast the tab) or AirPlay (mirror the screen) from the computer where the page is open.
For fashion schools and model agencies only
Runway Now TV is offered to fashion schools and model agencies, for internal, non-commercial use: students and teachers learning from the shows, agency teams working with models on their own screens. It is not for public places such as bars, restaurants, shops, hotels or public events. The videos are the houses’ own official YouTube uploads, played through YouTube’s embedded player; Runway Now does not download or re-host them.
A house that would like its video removed from Runway Now TV can write to [email protected]
