If you have TVs in the living room, bedroom and kitchen, you do not need three remotes or three apps. TVGO controls every TV in your home from a single phone, across 50+ brands, and switching between them takes one tap. You pair each TV once; after that, TVGO remembers them all. This guide covers how to add your TVs, how to switch between them, some everyday setups that make a multi-TV home easier, and how Family Sharing lets everyone use their own phone.
Step 1: Pair Your First TV
Start with the TV you use most. Make sure your phone is on the same Wi-Fi network as the TV and that the TV is switched on, then open TVGO and let it scan. Tap the TV when it appears and confirm the code or prompt on the TV screen.
If you have not paired a TV before, our guide to using your phone as a TV remote walks through this first pairing in detail. Every TV you want to control needs to be on the same home network as your phone, so if one of them is on a separate network, such as a TV connected to an extender with its own network name, move it to the main network first.
Step 2: Add the Rest of Your TVs
Tap the device name at the top of the remote screen to open the device switcher, then choose Scan for devices. Your other TVs appear in the list. Tap each one and confirm the pairing on that TV's screen, the same as the first.
Do this once per TV. It helps to give each TV a clear name in its own settings menu, such as "Living Room," "Bedroom" or "Kitchen," before you scan, so you can tell them apart in TVGO instead of seeing two identical model names. TVGO remembers every paired TV, so you never have to repeat this step unless you reset a TV or replace it with a new one.
Step 3: Switch Between TVs in One Tap
Once your TVs are paired, switching is instant: tap the device name at the top of the remote and pick the TV you want. The remote updates immediately, and every control, from volume to Quick Launch, now goes to that TV.
TVGO keeps track of which TV you used last and reconnects to it when you open the app, so if you mostly watch in one room, you will rarely need the switcher. When you do, it is the same single tap from anywhere in the house, because all your TVs share the same Wi-Fi network.
Everyday Multi-TV Setups
Movie night in the living room. Queue a film on the big screen, adjust the volume and navigate to the subtitle settings, all from the couch.
Music in the kitchen. Switch to the kitchen TV and open Spotify or YouTube Music with one tap, then control playback from your phone while you cook.
Winding down in the bedroom. Switch to the bedroom TV, lower the volume and find something relaxing to watch without getting up to look for another remote.
The common thread is that you never have to find the right remote for the right room: your phone already is it.
Family Sharing Across Every TV
Combine multi-TV support with Family Sharing and everyone in the household can control any TV from their own phone. One person can run the living room TV while someone else controls the bedroom screen, each from their own device.
This also solves the classic remote problem in a busy home: nobody has to hand over, hunt for or argue about a single plastic remote, and a remote left in the wrong room no longer means a TV nobody can control.
FAQ
Is there a limit to how many TVs TVGO can control?
No. TVGO supports unlimited TVs, so you can add every TV in your home.
Can I control TVs from different brands with one app?
Yes. TVGO works with 50+ brands, so a Samsung in the living room and a TCL in the bedroom can both live in the same device switcher.
Do all my TVs need to be on the same Wi-Fi network?
Yes. Each TV must be on the same home network as your phone for TVGO to reach it.
