What You Need to Know About Glo-TV App

In Nigeria, streaming services are becoming very popular. We have known of Netflix entertainment streaming services, and how it is bringing enjoyment to Nigerians nowadays. Globacom, a wholly Nigerian company, has joined the trend by launching its mobile TV streaming service known as Glo-TV.

Since the service began in August this year, it has been serving Nigerians with various entertainment such as news, sports, movies, and other content. The company is poised to make the app a one-stop entertainment destination for its audience. The Glo-TV app enables you to catch up with unlimited films and various live TV anytime, anywhere you are. The app can be downloaded on your mobile phone, tablet, and other Android or iOS devices that you make use of daily.

Advantages of Using Glo-TV App

It is noteworthy that the Glo-TV app will not cloud your smartphone with junk files. It is a streaming app, and it doesn’t download any movies or content on your smartphone except itself. It is very light, just about 10 MB, which means the app’s presence is not dangerous to your mobile phone at all because it is not intrusive.

Some experience other issues with the app, such as lousy network, which may bring about connection error, or the app may close at intervals, which can be really frustrating. Overall, the app will be seen as capable or not capable after some time. Note, it’s just a month old for now. There are also complaints about the app consuming data, while DStv, GOtv, and other cable TV require no data. But one has to pay for those.

Two Ways to Sign Up to Glo TV

Is it possible to stream Glo-TV content on a smart TV? Glo has not made that provision yet. However, it is possible to stream from TV web OS through this link, www.play.myglotv.com. This can be streamed on a laptop or desktop computer.

How to Cast Glo-TV Content from App to Smart TV

Right now, it is impossible to cast the app content from mobile app to smart TV for now. The app has not been programmed to do that. Once it is cast, the smart TV goes blank. Possibly, it may happen in the future, and we wait to see that.

What about Taking Screenshot or Recording from Glo-TV App

Try to take a screenshot from your smartphone, and you will note that the app will show a message that the app can’t allow any screenshot from a mobile device. The ScreenShield technology in the app prevents screen recording. In addition to that, it is impossible to record the video content.

Reactions on the App

The Glo-TV is getting quite popular these days. But some people said it is not making sense at all. The people who always make use of Wi-Fi to watch movies before the app came into existence. The challenge here is that it is not easy for them to pay for data to watch movies on two sides. However, for another reason, the Glo-TV app becomes very indispensable when the user is out of the home and finds himself in a place where the only thing to use for entertainment is the mobile phone.
