Frequently Asked Device Questions

Cloud Dock TV can be installed directly from the Google Play Store on certified Android TV and Google TV devices. If your TV does not have Google Play Services, you can also download the standalone release APK directly from our download page.

All major Android TV and Google TV brands including Sony Bravia, Xiaomi Mi TV, TCL, OnePlus TV, Realme TV, Vu, Thomson, and Kodak support hardware H.264/AAC decoding. Cloud Dock automatically detects your television's SoC and configures optimal buffer profiles.

Screen mirroring (Miracast/AirPlay) forces your phone to continuously re-encode its screen over Wi-Fi, causing 200ms+ lag and battery drain. Cloud Dock TV streams media directly from Google cloud servers into the television's hardware decoder, leaving your phone completely free.
