Stream Joyn on TV - Here's how

The Joyn streaming service allows you to access offers from the Pro7, Sat 1 and many other TV programs. As a young portal, Joyn is not yet optimally compatible with some devices. Here's how you can stream Joyn on your TV.

The best way to stream Joyn is with Android TV

Smart TVs have different operating systems. Joyn can be used on some of them without any problems.

• Joyn offers the best compatibility with Smart TVs, preferably with devices that are equipped with the Android TV operating system. This is the case with manufacturers such as Sony, Phillips and Sharp.
• The Samsung Tizen operating system on the Samsung Smart TVs already supports the Joyn app, but only the models from 2017 onwards.
• If you own an older device or one from LG, you can also find the Joyn app in the store, but it will still be forwarded to its predecessor "7TV".
• You can also transfer Joyn to the TV using a streaming stick. Simply insert the stick into the HDMI input of your TV. You can easily access the Joyn app via the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Nvidia Shield.

Stream Joyn on other TVs

Joyn can also be streamed on Apple TVs or Amazon's Fire TV.

• Anyone who owns a Fire TV from Amazon can access the offer via the Joyn app. The application can be easily downloaded from the TV.
• Google Chromecast users can also use this program to bring Joyn to their screens.
• Apple TV owners find it a little more difficult. You can download the app to the TV via Airplay and reach Joyn.
• Joyn cannot currently be played on a game console such as the Playstation. However, this may change in the future with the further development of the consoles.
• If you want to use Joyn without a Smart TV, you can also use the laptop. In this case, you should simply call up joyn.de in the browser and connect your laptop to the television using an HDMI cable.

Stream Joyn on screen using screen mirroring

Screen mirroring technology is also a good way to watch Joyn on a TV.

• To bring Joyn to the screen via screen mirroring, you must first activate this function in the TV's home menu.
• Android devices can now connect to the TV using Wi-Fi Direct technology.
• Open "Settings" on Android, then tap on "Device Connections" and on "Screen Mirroring". This starts the process automatically.
• The Smart TV should be searched for and displayed, otherwise tap on "Scan".
• Now you can open Joyn on the Android device and enjoy it on the big screen.
