Add channels to your Android TV home screen

Last updated: 2026-06-28

On Android TV you can make your channels appear in the TV’s main menu, so you can open them without entering the app first.

Step by step

  1. Open Settings inside the app on your TV.
  2. Add to Home Screen. Turn this option on to show your channels in the TV’s main menu.
  3. Open them from the home screen. Your channels will appear as a row on the TV home, ready to open directly.

Tips

  • This feature is designed for Android TV / Google TV devices; it doesn’t apply on phones.
  • Combine it with your favorite channels to keep what you watch most one click away on the TV home.
  • If you don’t see the row, check that the app has permission to show content on the system home screen.
