To stream photos to your TV: 1) Install the TVYou app from the Roku Channel Store, LG Content Store, Amazon Appstore, or Google Play Store, 2) Open the app and note the pairing code displayed, 3) Log into tvyou.com on your phone or computer, 4) Enter the pairing code to connect your TV, 5) Select a playlist and it will begin playing on your TV.
Push to TV is a feature that lets you instantly send any photo or video from your phone or computer directly to your TV. Content uploaded on the web or mobile app now appears on your TV in under 2 seconds (previously up to 15 seconds), powered by a live WebSocket connection on supported TVs.
Yes. You can customize how long each photo displays — from a few seconds to several minutes per image. You can also enable shuffle mode (Fisher-Yates randomization) and add a per-playlist background music track that plays during the slideshow.
Yes. Upload a .vtt caption file alongside your video (matching the video's base filename, e.g. vacation.mp4 + vacation.vtt) and captions display automatically on Roku, Google TV, Fire TV, and LG. The TV honors your system-level Closed Captioning setting, so users see captions when CC is enabled in their accessibility settings.
Yes. TVYou supports MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, and Opus audio files. They appear in your library with a music-note icon, can be mixed into playlists alongside photos and videos, and play with a clean now-playing display on TV.
Photos: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, BMP. Videos: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, M4V, AVI, MPG, MPEG, TS, M2TS. Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, Opus. Captions: WebVTT (.vtt) sidecars. Larger files are uploaded via resumable multipart so a connection drop won't lose your progress.
Yes. The search bar at the top of your library does a live filter across folder names and file titles — works in the main library, Push-to-TV picker, and Manage Playlist screens. Useful once you have hundreds or thousands of items.
Yes. TVYou saves your resume position every few seconds while you watch on iOS, Android, or web. Open the same video on a different device and it offers to pick up where you stopped. Auto-clears when you finish.
Shared folders let you invite family members or coworkers to a specific folder by email. They can view your photos and videos on their own TVs, and (if you give them contribute permission) drop their own photos into the shared folder which appears on all linked TVs in seconds. Permission tiers include view, contribute, admin, and owner. Recipients accept invitations from a notification badge in their account.
A magic link is a public share URL you can send via text, email, or any messaging app — anyone who clicks it can drop photos or videos into your shared folder without signing up for an account. Perfect for grandparents, casual friends, or anyone who wants to contribute memories without the friction of a signup. You can cap the number of uses or leave it unlimited, and if they later create an account, the upload is promoted to a permanent shared-folder grant.
Yes. From the Sharing page or the folder's options menu, you can revoke your own grant, which removes the folder from your library. The owner is not notified, and you can be re-invited at any time.
Yes. A notification bell in the header shows pending folder invitations. From there you can accept or decline. Accepted shared folders appear mixed into your main library with a 'shared' marker so you can tell them apart from folders you own.
TVYou uses simple pay-per-resource pricing. Start with a free plan (1GB, 1 display, 1 user), then add resources as needed: $1 per additional GB of storage, $1 per additional TV display, $1 per additional user account. No subscriptions or hidden fees.
Yes! You can add secondary users to your account for $1 per user. Secondary users can upload content and manage playlists while you maintain control as the primary account holder. Perfect for family sharing.
You can adjust your resources anytime from your account settings. Remove displays or users instantly. To reduce storage, you'll need to delete media first to free up space. There are no cancellation fees.
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through our secure Stripe payment processor on web. On iOS, payments are handled via the App Store. On Android, payments are handled via Google Play. All transactions are encrypted and secure.
Absolutely! TVYou is perfect for business digital signage including restaurant menu boards, retail store displays, hotel lobby screens, corporate presentations, and waiting room content. Manage multiple displays from one dashboard.
There's no limit to the number of displays you can manage. Start with 1 free display, then add more at $1 each. Each display can show different content or the same playlist across all screens.
Yes — TVYou supports dayparting. Each playlist has a schedule with start/end hours and days-of-week, so you can configure breakfast / lunch / dinner playlists that switch automatically. Storefronts use the same feature for morning promos, daytime hero content, and after-hours decoration. The TV picks the right playlist based on its local clock.
Yes! TVYou is ideal for restaurant digital menu boards. Upload your menu images, create playlists for different meal times, and display them on any TV. Update prices or specials instantly from your phone or computer.
Yes, security is a top priority. TVYou uses AWS infrastructure with encrypted storage, secure HTTPS transfers, and cryptographically signed URLs for media access. Your content is protected with enterprise-grade security.
Individual files can be up to 500MB for videos and 50MB for images. Total storage depends on your plan - 1GB free, with additional storage available at $1 per GB.
