How to set up PUSHIT TV
How can you install PUSHIT on a TV?
To use PUSHIT on your TV, you’ll need a TV that runs Google TV or Android TV apps.
There are two ways to get that:
1) Your TV already supports Google TV or Android TV. Some TVs come with Google TV or Android TV built in (for example, Sony, TCL, Hisense).
How to check:
- Open the Apps or Google Play Store on your TV
- Search for “PUSHIT” -> If you can install it, your TV is compatible
- Open the Pushit TV app and scan the QR Code to test the display quality.
Once you’ve connected the Google TV or Chromecast device to an HDMI port and finished its setup, just search for the Pushit app on the device, open it, scan the QR code shown on the TV screen, and you’re ready to go.
*Based on the TV RAM and specs, alongside the cameras' resolutions & FPS, the TV may struggle with streaming high-quality. In this case, use the method below:

2) Use an Android TV / Google TV streaming device (recommended)
If your TV does not support Google TV or Android TV, you can still use PUSHIT by connecting an external TV stick/box.*Almost any TV with an HDMI port works. Make sure your TV supports 1080p or higher.
