This research investigates the factors influencing consumers' behavioral intention to use and recommend OTT video streaming services. The UTAUT2 model variables, content availability, involvement and interest, personalization, and attitude towards piracy are examined. This research utilized SmartPLS 4 and SPSS 26 software for data analysis, in which the data were collected through questionnaire distribution to 308 respondents. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was the method of data analysis used by the researcher to access information about relationships between constructs. The findings reveal that habit, involvement & interest, and hedonic motivation positively significantly affect behavioral intention to use.
