Installation

Read a user manual for your set-top box to connect a TV, webcam, microphone (if your camera doesn’t have a built-in mic), power cable, and Ethernet cable in case a wired Internet connection is used.

To make sure you enjoy the best audio and video quality, your communication channel should meet our bandwidth requirements. We recommend using a wired connection if possible.

You can now enable the device and install TrueConf for Android TV completely free of charge from Google Play Store.

If necessary, you can download the .APK file to install the application on your device.

Once installed, the app can be launched. You can use your device’s standard control tools to run the app.

Make sure a compatible camera and microphone (or a camera with a built-in microphone) is connected to your device before launching the app. If you connect them after the app launches, you may need to restart your device to find these devices.
