Telegram TV apps, compared
Telegram makes no app for televisions, so watching your Telegram videos on a TV takes an app from someone else. These are the ones we found, what each one is and what it costs.
Updated
Three kinds of app
Every app on this page is unofficial, except Telegram's own desktop app.
Full Telegram clients for TV
Your chats and messages on the big screen, laid out for a remote, with the videos among them.
Players for your chats
They sign in to your own account and list the videos in your chats and channels, without the messages. TMPlayer is one of these.
Casting from a phone
A player on your phone sends the video to a Chromecast or a TV with Google Cast, and the phone stays in charge. Casting and mirroring, compared.
Casting from TMPlayer and from Telegram's own app: the casting guide. A Samsung or LG TV: what works there.
Looking for TMP - Telegram Media Player?
It is a different app. This is what its store pages showed when we checked.
TMP - Telegram Media Player is an app by the developer T.M.P for watching Telegram videos on Android TV and Fire TV. TMPlayer is a separate, unrelated, open source project, with its own code and its own developer.
- Its Google Play page (com.tmp.com) returned "not found" when checked on 19 October 2026.
- Its last archived Google Play listing, from December 2020, showed version 10.0.21, updated on 6 October 2020.
- Its Amazon Appstore listing is still up: version 10.0.25, rated 2.2 out of 5 from 3,219 ratings.
Moving to TMPlayer
TMPlayer installs on an Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV with the free Downloader app, and signs in to your own Telegram account with a QR code from your phone. There is nothing to carry over: your chats and videos are in your Telegram account.
Telegram on Android TV
Install TMPlayer on an Android TV or Google TV with the Downloader app, scan a QR code with your phone and press play.
Read the stepsTelegram on Fire TV
Install TMPlayer on a Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube or Fire TV Edition TV with Downloader and the remote, then sign in.

Each name links to the listing or site its facts come from, which is not an endorsement. "Not checked" marks a fact we did not confirm on the day.
What TMPlayer does differently
Only what the table shows; several apps above do the rest too.
Free, with nothing to buy
No ads of its own, no paid tier, no trial and no subscription. Every feature works for everyone.
Open source, built in public
The code is public under the GPL-3.0, and GitHub builds every release from that public code, with a checksum for each file.
One app on every screen
It is the only app in this table that runs on Android phones, Android TVs and Windows, Linux and macOS computers alike.
No server, no bot
It signs in through TDLib, Telegram's own library, straight to Telegram. Nothing passes through a server of ours, and there is no bot to add.
Like several apps here, it also signs in with a QR code, plays MKV videos with their subtitles and every audio track, and casts to a Chromecast or Google TV. Everything it does.
On Apple TV?
TMPlayer does not run on Apple TV, and it casts to a Chromecast or Google TV, not over AirPlay.
On Apple TV, the apps we found are Tevegram, where videos need Premium ($2.99 a month, $5.99 a year or $13.99 lifetime), and tv for Telegram ($1.99, plus in-app purchases).
More help
TMPlayer does not provide media: it plays what is already in your own chats and channels. The questions cover what it can and cannot see.
Support TMPlayer
TMPlayer has no ads of our own (Telegram's sponsored messages appear in public channels, as Telegram requires) and no paid tier. If it saves you some bother, a coffee or a monthly sponsorship pays for the time that goes into it. It is voluntary and unlocks nothing: every feature is free for everyone.
