What Is Quick Launch?

Quick Launch is one of TVGO's most-loved features. It lets you pin your favorite Android TV apps and open them with a single tap from your phone. No scrolling through the home screen, no hunting through app drawers — just instant access.

Top Apps to Pin

Streaming

  • Netflix — The go-to for movies and series. Pin it for instant binge sessions.
  • YouTube — From tutorials to music videos, YouTube is essential on the big screen.
  • Disney+ — Family movie night is one tap away.
  • Prime Video — Great originals and a massive library worth quick access.

Music

  • Spotify — Turn your TV into a music hub. Perfect for parties or background listening.
  • YouTube Music — If you're already in the Google ecosystem, this is a natural fit.

Live TV

  • Pluto TV — Free live channels and on-demand content. A solid addition to any setup.
  • Tubi — Another free option with a surprisingly deep catalog.

Utilities

  • Plex — Stream your personal media library on the big screen.
  • VLC — A reliable player for local files and network streams.

How to Set Up Quick Launch

  1. Open TVGO and connect to your TV.
  2. Navigate to the Quick Launch section.
  3. Browse your installed TV apps or search for one.
  4. Tap the pin icon next to any app to add it to your Quick Launch bar.
  5. Rearrange pinned apps by dragging them into your preferred order.

Why Quick Launch Matters

The average Android TV user has 15 to 20 apps installed but regularly uses only four or five. Quick Launch cuts through the clutter. Instead of navigating the TV interface to find an app, you tap once on your phone and it opens immediately on screen.

It's a small feature that makes a big difference in daily use. Pair it with TVGO's keyboard search and you've got the fastest way to find and watch anything on your TV.

Pin your favorites today and see how much smoother your TV experience gets.
