Can I stream Glo TV content on Smart TV?
At the moment, Glo is yet to roll out the TV app for Smart TV, but you can stream from TV web OS through the url>> play.myglotv.com. You can equally stream on your computer; laptop or desktop.
Here’s how to stream the Glo TV on your smart TV.
Can I cast Glo TV content from mobile app to (Smart) TV?
You may be unable to cast content showing on your glo tv mobile app to your smart television. The app is programmed in such a way your smart TV goes blank when you try casting from your mobile app.
Can I take a screenshot/or record from my Glo TV App
No, not at the moment. Taking screenshots isn’t allowed by the app, as the Glo TV app is probably patented with ScreenShield technology which prevents screen recording. By this, you may be unable to record video content or take still snapshots from the mobile app.
Glo Tv data bundle offer
Glo also offers exclusive data bundle with which you can use to stream their glotv/app. For now, you can get 500MB data for just 150 Naira to stream on the app. Validity is 3 days. The glo data bundles are available on the mobile app menu.
Glo Tv app Reviews
The Glo TV app is currently gathering momentum, but a glimpse on the app interphase indicates it could be a big thing in the making. The app UI/UX is clean, simple, and navigating the app is a slick experience. The major downside could be the restriction they had in casting to TV, as some users (like me) are getting to prefer watching streaming content on TV instead. Although the app is still in its beta days, as we can anticipate the app developers taking feedback from users and may likely improve the app based on users’ recommendations/preferences.
From the general viewpoint, here are some snapshots of users’ reviews from Google PlayStore.
