Projector

Put your own videos on the TV

Projector is for people who want to watch family recordings and other home videos on a television, rather than only on the phone or computer where they are stored. It is a personal video service, not a catalogue of films and shows to browse.

How it fits together

The service is set up through Projector’s website on a computer, where you create an account and upload videos. You then use the TV app on a streaming device and sign in to watch that collection. This Android app is for adding more videos from your phone, so it supports the library rather than replacing the TV viewing app.

Who it suits

Choose Projector if your main goal is to gather personal videos in one place and make them easier to watch with family on a television. It is less suited to someone looking for a simple local video player: the described setup depends on an account, uploading content, and using a separate TV app. Consider whether that extra setup is worthwhile for how often you revisit your recordings.

What the numbers suggest

Projector Stream is the developer. The listing shows 100,000+ installs, alongside a 2.6 rating from 389 reviews. That rating is a reason to check recent user feedback before relying on the app for an important collection; install count alone does not say how well the upload and TV-viewing experience works for you.
