For the last few years, a RightNow Media @ Work app has been available for select Smart TVs. In today's technologically-driven environment, the pace of change is rather quick. To deliver our app, we used the Yahoo! Connected TV store which was available on Smart TVs from several manufacturers, but, recently, we have seen fewer and fewer models compatible with this Yahoo! store. This led to fewer TVs capable with running our app and Yahoo! phasing out its support for apps delivered through its Connected TV Store. Additionally, the trend among TV manufacturers has been to move towards "casting" functionality instead of using apps installed directly on the TV. Casting technology allows you to select a video on a smart phone or tablet and send or "cast" it to your TV screen.
These changes, along with an inconsistent user experience on Smart TVs, have led us to discontinue our Smart TV app. The process of discontinuing our app removes it from the Yahoo! Connected TV Store and uninstalls it from your TV since it is no longer available.
The good news is there are many other great ways to stream RightNow Media @ Work content to your TV, possibly using devices you already own. For instance, you can connect any smart phone, tablet, or laptop to your TV using an adapter and/or HDMI cable. You can also use a Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, or Chromecast to stream our videos to your TV.
Note: Airplay is not available from mobile device to Smart TVs that have been equipped with new technology at this time.
