How to use your Smart TV and add Apps easily

Smart TVs have redefined how we experience entertainment at home. With built-in internet access, app stores, and design interfaces, your TV is no longer just a screen, it’s a gateway to limitless content. But how do you make the most of it?

Whether you're streaming movies, playing music, or browsing the web, knowing how to install and use apps on your Smart TV unlocks its full potential.

This guide will walk you through using a Smart TV, and how to download and manage applications.

Everything is managed through a user-friendly interface designed to feel just like navigating a smartphone, only on a bigger screen.

Adding apps to your smart TV is simple and intuitive:

1. Connect your TV to the internet (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
2. On the Home screen, navigate to the Google Play Store.
3. Browse or search for the app you want (e.g., Spotify, Twitch…).
4. Select the app, then click Install.
5. Once installed, it appears in your Apps section, ready to launch.

To organize or uninstall apps, just hold down the OK button on the app icon, and options will appear to move or remove it.
