Watch on TV

Watch your phone’s videos on the big screen

Pick a video on your phone and add it to the TV. It plays on your Android TV straight from your phone, over your Wi-Fi or your phone’s hotspot. Nothing is copied to the TV, and you don’t need internet.

Turn on Watch On TV once

The first time, switch on Watch On TV on your phone. AppDesta explains how it works and lets you choose how many devices can connect. After that, your TV finds your phone by itself.

Nothing is copied to the TV

The video plays from your phone, so your TV’s storage stays free. Very large videos can buffer on a slow Wi-Fi. If that happens, download that one to the TV instead.

Control it from your phone

No remote nearby? Use your phone as the remote for the AppDesta TV app.

Questions

Does the TV need internet?
No. Your phone and TV just need the same Wi-Fi, or the TV can join your phone’s hotspot.
Which TVs work?
Android TV, Google TV and Amazon Fire TV with AppDesta installed. Samsung, LG or Hisense TV? Plug in a Fire TV Stick or an Android TV box.
Does it fill up my TV?
No. Videos play from your phone. Only videos you choose to download are saved on the TV.
