What's new with Arattai Android TV app?
Arattai's Android TV app can be used to create, schedule or join meetings which makes it easier to either attend work related calls or even ring in the new year festivities with your loved ones.
The app requires at Android 7 or later version to start using on the smart TVs. The primary aim of the app, for now, seems to be on enabling video calls while leveraging the big real estate of a smart TV. Users can navigate the app using the remote for their TV after completing the sign in process.
However, since smart TVs usually don't come with camera support, Arattai supports users to put in a video camera or microphone via the USB port on their TV in order to enjoy the call.
