I don't believe that is possible. I could be wrong though as I've never tried it. I've read the manual pretty thoroughly and have not seen a reference to playing moves that are stored on the car's HD or from your phone. All you can view currently is YouTube through the YouTube web app. I've tried logging into my YouTube TV account from the Vavaldi browser and while I was successful in logging in, it would not play any content. It just kept saying unsupported format. I haven't tried Netflix yet. The supperscreen doesn't give you any additional capabilities other than the extra screen. Well, there is the driver camera for zoom calls but nothing more as far as media playback goes. I'm expecting that a future software update will allow more choices here eventually but I have no idea if that is true or when.

You could just plug a wireless AI dongle into the usb. I use a autosky and it allows YouTube and Netflix works well once you learn how to use it.

Superscreen Movies

New to me. Sounds interesting. Do you download video to the dongle somewhere in advance, then play it back on the superscreen?
Is there a support number for someone at Mercedes National who can tell us how to use their electronics and what updates to expect?

the front passenger screen in the mbux superscreen doesn’t allow to watch youtube while the car is rolling. Saying cannot use youtube at current speed. This shouldn't happen in the passenger screen.
any advise?

I have a 2024 E350 with the SuperScreen. I have been able to get videos/movies to play on the passenger screen while driving. What I do is connect my car to my iPhones hotspot, then on the passenger screen go to the Vivaldi Browser app and search for Hulu, Disney+, etc. and log in and then you can stream right through the cars interface. Connect your headphones via the bluetooth connection to the passenger screen and the driver can still listen to whatever they would like. When the driver looks over at the screen, it appears black but the passenger can still see the screen. *I will note that Netflix doesn't seem to work for some reason (it says some playback error) but Prime Video, Disney+, and Hulu have all worked.

Also, when parked and connected to my iPhone hotspot, I can use the Youtube Video app and watch videos on the main middle display with no issues.

Hope this helps!

i did it. Still not working. Meaning the passenger cannot see videos while I am driving. Can hear the audio of the video in his paired headsets to his screen...but no image...due to speed.
