      Resolve Auto-Start & Auto-Launch issues on your Google TV devices

      A quick guide on how to implement auto-launch and auto-start on your Google TV for the Display NOW app.

      We will cover the auto-start feature first i.e. the Display NOW app will be automatically started back up again if it is exited for any reason.

      Go to Settings > Apps > Special app access > Display over other apps, make sure the Display NOW app is allowed.


      1)       Go to "Settings"
