You can use VidAngel on your Samsung Smart TV by casting to it from our Android mobile app. We hope to add a smart TV app in the future. Please know that Samsung TV casting will not work if you're casting from an Apple device.
Before starting the casting process, make sure you have the most updated version of our app on your Android and that your Android is on the same WIFI as your Samsung TV, (see Cast to your TV from the mobile app).

If you want to disconnect from the TV you can easily do this by tapping on "Disconnect" in the VidAngel mobile app.
Samsung TV With Built-in Apple TV
