0 views
To install unknown apps on a TCL Smart TV, you'd typically need to enable settings that allow the installation from unknown sources. However, TCL Smart TVs run on different operating systems depending on the model (Android TV, Roku TV, etc.), and the process can vary. Generally, for Android TV: Go to Settings > Security & Restrictions, and enable Unknown Sources. But, if your TCL TV uses Roku OS, it doesn't directly support installing apps outside the Roku Channel Store. You'd need to use 'sideloading' techniques, which require more specific steps and could void your warranty.
