How to add an App to your VIZIO Smart TV

To access applications on your SmartCast TV, press the input button and choose the ‘SmartCast’ input. Or press the V key or Home key near the center of your remote. Currently all available applications are displayed in the app row of SmartCast Home. No app downloading is required.

If you do not see the app you’re looking for, you may still be able to watch that content using the TV’s ChromeCast or Airplay features. If the app you’re looking for doesn’t appear in your TVs app list then it currently isn’t available on the SmartCast platform, and there is no way to download it to your TV’s home screen. While the app you’re looking for may not currently be available, VIZIO does regularly release updates to the TV that add new features and applications. These updates will automatically download to your TV, once the app becomes available to VIZIO and if your TV is connected to the internet.  The great news is that there is No Download Required for you.  It will happen automatically.
