HOTLINE TV has been upgraded to HOTLINE TV+.
New Features
Designed with elderly users and others in mind, it allows for easy video calls using a dedicated remote control.
To simplify screen transitions and call operations, it uses accessibility features (AccessibilityServices API) to a limited extent.
The API is used only for assisting app launch, call screen transitions, and simplifying operations; it does not collect personal information.
It complies with Google Play's accessibility policy and user data policy.
This feature can be turned ON or OFF at any time by the user.
Features
HOTLINE TV is a video calling app created for smart TVs (Android TV). Enjoy video calls freely, just like making a phone call.
By using a familiar TV, it significantly lowers the barrier to video calling, making it easy for elderly people to make video calls.
Easy Operation with TV Remote Control
HOTLINE TV is operated using a standard home remote control.
It's easy to use because you use your usual remote control.
HOTLINE TV integrates with smartphone web pages, allowing you to dial not only from your TV but also from your PC or smartphone.
