Play Content on TV from Dashboard

Launch assigned playlists on one TV, multiple TVs, or TV groups from the dashboard where device and app state allow it.

Updated May 14, 2026

Where you can launch content

  • One TV
  • Multiple TVs
  • Store groups
  • City clusters
  • All connected TVs

In the current TV playback journey, operators can start a playlist from a TV details modal by opening Select Playlist and choosing the destination playlist for that TV. This is the clearest path when a screen is online but not yet running the correct content.

Play on TV modal for launching content to one or many TVs
Launch from the dashboard once the target TVs and playlists are confirmed.

Recommended launch flow

  1. 1

    Confirm the playlist contains the correct assets.

  2. 2

    Choose the target TV or TV group.

  3. 3

    Launch the playlist from the dashboard.

  4. 4

    Check that the TV transitions into an active playback state.

  5. 5

    Verify recent activity if the launch result is unclear.

If you are operating from the TV details modal, Start Playlist and Launch App solve different problems. Start Playlist is for choosing what should play. Launch App is for reopening the GlooTV App when the device is online but inactive.

Launch caveats

Remote actions depend on environment state

Some remote actions depend on device compatibility, app state, permissions, and network availability. If the action does not apply cleanly, use TV Management and recent activity to understand the blocker.

Single TV versus multi-TV launches

Use a single-TV launch when you are correcting one screen, validating a new playlist, or testing whether the app is responsive. Use grouped or multi-TV launches when the content and timing should be consistent across several screens or locations.

  • Single TV. Best for support recovery and spot fixes.
  • Multiple TVs. Useful when several devices in one location should switch together.
  • Store or city groups. Best when an operator manages a rollout pattern across many locations.
  • All connected TVs. Use only when the playlist and timing are fully validated.
