Put a frequently used player in Google TV’s Your apps row

Google TV provides a normal app-reordering control. Moving a player closer to the start of the row is a navigation change, not a new installation or account activation.

Google TV

Use the installed application’s move control

Google’s app guide describes selecting an item in Your apps, holding the remote’s Select control and choosing Move. Use the directional controls to place it, then confirm and finish the reorder operation.

Some interfaces also expose a Reorder tile at the end of the row. Follow the controls on the installed version rather than looking for a phone-style drag gesture on a remote-only screen.

Check that the app is actually installed

A recommendation or store result is not necessarily an installed player. If it is absent from Your apps, open its genuine listing and establish whether it is available for the device. In basic TV mode, app installation itself is unavailable.

A shortcut does not bypass the player’s account or licence screen. After moving the app, open it normally and confirm the intended account remains configured.

Make the row useful for the household

Group the applications people genuinely use rather than filling the first screen with every available media icon. Test navigation with the supplied remote and at normal viewing distance. A clearly reachable player is more useful than a long collection of unused shortcuts.

Keep the same player name and publisher in any household instructions. Similar-looking icons can refer to unrelated apps, especially when family members have installed several trials.

Verify the small change

Return to the home screen, navigate to the moved app and open it. That confirms the shortcut works without claiming that its underlying streaming service or all content has been tested.
