Sideloading is the act of installing an app from outside the Play Store. You'll just have to download them from someplace else.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean that they won't work on the TV. If you want an app that doesn't appear in the Play Store on the TV, you can 'sideload' it.Īpps and games that haven't been specifically designed for TVs won't show up in the Play Store on your Google TV or Android TV device. Google TV devices (including the Chromecast with Google TV) have access to apps and games made for Android TV.
