Arattai app is now compatible with Android TV models and lets you take one-on-one calls or schedule meetings.
Arattai app is now available on the big screen but only for calls and meetings
Zoho’s Arattai messaging app is now available on smart TVs for users in India. The company has announced the news which allows the WhatsApp rival to run on the big screen that has the Android TV platform. This is a big change for the platform that has offered end-to-end encryption since November 2025 but continues to see its stocks fall well below the might of WhatsApp among users in the country.
Bringing Arattai to Android TV means the app becomes a viable option to take video calls and even take meetings from the television in your living room.
Arattai App Comes To Android TV: How To Install And Set Up
Arattai app is available through the Google Play Store that is compatible with Android TVs and you can install the app with these steps:
- Go to Play Store on your Android TV
- Search for Arattai app and click on the listing
- Click on Install to download the Arattai app on your TV
- Open the app and sign in with your account
- You will see QR code based login screen on the TV
- Open the Arattai app on your phone and scan the QR code to authenticate the sign in
- Arattai app will sync with your account and give you the details
Arattai is enabling the Android TV version to primarily help you take video meetings and show you the list of future scheduled meetings as well. Like most Android devices these days, Google seeks your permission before using the mic and camera on the TV to run the app and Arattai will also go through the same process. The platform will also allow you to view recorded meetings that are saved in a different folder on the app for the big screen.
Arattai says Android TV of the platform will work with Android 7 or later versions. It supports external webcam and microphone that can be connected to the TV via USB ports to get a better experience for your meetings.
Arattai app now supports end-to-end encryption for personal chats. The security feature has been compatible with video and voice calls on the platform and now it will be working across the regular chats as well. The feature is not going to be enabled by default so you will have to manually use the security setting for chats. This may sound strange but Zoho is clearly adhering to its own policies.
Zoho claims the E2E standard is the same as WhatsApp and Signal messaging apps, and all the chats are secure behind encrypted keys that are only available on the device of the users. The feature is available for Android, iOS and the Windows version of the messaging app.
