### Smart TV

<details>

<summary><strong>tvOS (Apple)</strong></summary>

The tvOS app supports all Apple TV devices running tvOS 17.0 or later. It's available to download in the Apple TV app store.

{% hint style="info" %}
tvOS support is currently in beta.
{% endhint %}

## Configure NetBird on tvOS

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### First Launch

![tvos-confirm-add-vpn-config](/files/6039998f1f0822d2e8de26d70607927174d036ff)

Upon first launch, NetBird will request permission to create a new VPN configuration. Select 'Allow' to continue.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Management Server Configuration

Navigate to **'Settings > Change Server'**, and the app will warn you that changing management server settings will erase your current config and disconnect if a connection is currently active:

![tvos-confirm-change-server](/files/06397c180d81c6940fd5094e438fba516132afb0)

After confirming, you'll be presented with a dialog to enter the management server URL. Please enter `https://vpn.qubitvpn.com:443`.

Select 'Change' to apply your new management server config. NetBird will run a brief verification step on the details you've entered, after which you can move on to connecting.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Connecting & Authenticating

On the main 'Connection' screen, select the 'Connect' button to initiate a connection to the QubitVPN network.

You will be presented a QR code and device ID:

![tvos-authentication](/files/c08af181b0f97b1c55b083c6aa2115bddfc4ca96)

Scan the QR code with a mobile device and you'll be able to sign in there. If asked to confirm your device code, confirm that the code underneath the QR code matches the one presented by the Splicate Authentication. Once you've completed the SSO flow, after a few seconds the authentication dialog in the NetBird app will automatically dismiss itself. Select the 'Connect' button once more, and your device should now be connected!

### Where to Download

NetBird has an official Android application that you can download at the Google Play Store:

[![playstore](/files/d3510064a5464e23851b7dfa3274d2f62ece7d9c)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.netbird.client)

APK releases are also available to install directly on your Android device via the [NetBird Android GitHub repository](https://github.com/netbirdio/android-client/releases).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure Netbird on Android TV

Upon first launch, NetBird will inform you that it's using the default management server.

<div align="left"><img src="/files/1ba841bd099f19276ddf47694471f78bada4c3d6" alt="firstinstall" width="375"></div>

Select 'Continue' to acknowledge and you'll be greeted with the app's main screen.

<div align="left"><img src="/files/12aa716abd53abad5853d67c636a02691a5106e2" alt="android-tv-main-screen" width="375"></div>

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Management Server Configuration

Select the hamburger menu on the top left of the main screen (or hold the left directional button) and navigate to the 'Change Server' menu.

![android-tv-main-menu](/files/5436a4cca18d3ac1839e8448be00fa3efeddc87d)

Changing servers erases the device's current NetBird config, so you'll need to confirm the action before proceeding:

![confirm-erase-cponfig](/files/bad41f774acb218e5cde3ae5423a9c4e018cf193)

Enter QubitVPN's management server endpoint: `https://vpn.qubitvpn.com:443`.

Select 'change' to apply your new management server config, and if successful you'll see the following:

<div align="left"><img src="/files/5022b2e3d9830d5a5f99c6d7085776e3f4bf01ab" alt="serverchanged" width="375"></div>

You're now ready to connect to the network!

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Connecting to the Network

Select the NetBird logo button to connect. The app will request permission to create a VPN connection:

<div align="left"><img src="/files/e97d57ae67cbdd3c10ff0cb6e30522db8a465194" alt="vpnconnectionrequest" width="375"></div>

Select 'OK'. You will then need to authenticate. NetBird will open a browser window where you'll be instructed to sign in.

After logging in, NetBird will confirm your authentication. Once you close the browser window, your device should be connected!

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Authenticating

Since Android TV doesn't ship with a built-in browser, and entering credentials with a remote may be less than ideal, the TV client uses a slightly different authentication flow to the mobile app. After you grant the app permission to create a VPN connection, you'll be presented a QR code and device ID:

![tvssoqr](/files/0a5ff212a1efb4ce7abcb315c0392a5bed297462)

Scan the QR code with your phone and you'll be able to sign in there. If asked to confirm your device code, confirm that the code underneath the QR code matches the one presented after Login. Once you've completed the SSO flow, the QR code dialog in the NetBird app will automatically dismiss itself, and your device should now be connected!
