What this TCL TV companion app is for
MagiConnect TV App Services is a companion app for TCL televisions. It runs on your Android phone and sends commands and media to a TCL Android TV or TCL Roku TV on your home network. The listing says it is intended for 2024 TCL models only.
It suits anyone who already owns one of those sets and wants the phone to act as the remote, or wants to put photos, music or videos from the phone onto the big screen. The listing describes it as a remote and home entertainment hub in one.
Using the phone as a TV remote
Once connected, the phone works as a multi-function remote for the TV. The listing presents this as an alternative to the physical remote that came with the set, with extra controls beyond the basic buttons. The exact controls on the phone screen are not described in detail in the listing.
The app also functions as a central place to reach the TV's entertainment features, so you can move between apps and playback from the same screen.
Casting photos, music and video to the TV
The app is designed to send media from the phone to the TV. The listing names photos, music, and both online and local video as the content types. Local video means files stored on the phone. Online video means streams the app can reach.
Use it to show family photos on a large screen, play a music file through the TV's speakers, or start a video from the phone without copying it across first.
Setting up the connection on your home network
Setup starts on the TV. Open the app on the TCL TV from the TCL Channel or the Applications row on the home screen. Then put the phone and TV on the same Wi-Fi network. If your router has AP isolation, the listing says to disable it, since that setting can stop devices on the network from finding each other.
With both devices on the same network, open the app on the phone and choose 'TV Connection' so it can identify your TV. Only after that does the remote and casting features work.
