Tevegram: Telegram Android TV

Telegram belongs on the big screen too. Tevegram is an independent Telegram client for Android TV and Google TV: your chats, your media, and live channels, by remote.

TELEGRAM ON YOUR TELEVISION, PROPERLY
Not a phone app stretched to fifty inches, and nothing mirrored or cast from another device. Tevegram installs on the television itself, signs in with your own Telegram account, and puts your conversations and channels at a size you can read from the sofa. Switch the TV on, open the app, and everything is already there.

BUILT AROUND THE REMOTE
Every screen answers the directional pad: up, down, click. Focus lands where you expect it, targets are large, and the player is driven with the arrows and the OK button. No cursor to chase around the screen.

ONE LIBRARY FOR EVERYTHING SHARED WITH YOU
Tevegram gathers what has been posted in your conversations and channels into a library you can actually browse: video, films, photos, music, documents. Filter by kind of file, or narrow it to a single conversation and see only what came from there. Playback resumes where you stopped, so something long, watched over two evenings, starts again at the right second instead of the beginning.

NEW: LIVE CHANNEL BROADCASTS
When a channel you follow goes live, it moves to the top of your library with a live badge, and one click plays it full screen. This covers RTMP live streams published by a channel, the kind an owner runs from streaming software; group video chats and video calls between participants are not supported. Live playback is part of Premium.

NOTIFICATIONS OVER ANYTHING ON SCREEN
Incoming Telegram messages appear as an overlay on top of whatever is playing, in this app or any other. You see who wrote and what they said without leaving what you were watching, and without reaching for your phone in the dark. You choose which conversations are allowed to interrupt you.

FILES AND DOWNLOADS
Send a file across to the television, or download media out of a conversation so it stays on the device and plays later.

WHERE IT RUNS
Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, Xiaomi TV Stick, and Android TV boxes and sticks in general. If your smart TV or box runs Android TV or Google TV and came with a remote, this app was made for it.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR EXACTLY THIS
If you have wanted to watch a Telegram video on a smart TV rather than on a phone, open a channel you follow on an Android TV box, play music from a chat through the television, or simply see Telegram notifications in the living room, that is what Tevegram is for.

PREMIUM
Premium unlocks the extras, live channel playback included. It comes as a one-time lifetime purchase or as an annual subscription, whichever suits you better.

NOT AN OFFICIAL TELEGRAM APP
Tevegram is an unofficial, independent client. It is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with Telegram or its developers. Telegram is a trademark of its owners. You sign in with your own Telegram account.
