Yes, you can continue watching an on-demand show from where you left off on any supported device.
Any video-on-demand content you watch while logged into your Gem account will be saved to the Continue Watching section of the Gem app and website.

You need to be logged in to your Gem account for Continue Watching content to be saved. This content is tied to your profile and not the device you are streaming on
-
The Continue Watching function does not work when Gem is streamed via Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay. Your viewing progress will not be recorded.
You will find content you're still in the process of viewing in two areas of the CBC Gem app or website.
The first Continue Watching section can be found by selecting My Gem on the main screen of the Gem app or website.
The location of My Gem and Continue Watching will appear slightly different on the CBC Gem app vs the CBC Gem website.
The following images show their location on the Gem website.
The second Continue Watching section can be found on the Featured (main) screen of the Gem app and website. Content for Continue Watching and Favourites are both found here.
A red progress bar will appear below the image of any content you have not yet completed, indicating where you have paused viewing.
Please note - This section contains a mix of content you have not yet completed, and content that you have added to your favourites list. Only content you have not yet completed will display the red progress bar beneath the image.
