I just bought a beautiful Hisense ULED TV and installed it on my wall. But I can't find Spotify anywhere and only to find out it has no Spotify app in the VIDAA store! How is this possible in 2026? I tried using the web browser version through my TV, but it was too slow. — From Reddit
Can you get Spotify on VIDAA TV or other Hisense Smart TVs? While Hisense Smart TVs, including those running VIDAA U5 and other operating systems, offer a fantastic platform to enjoy Spotify's vast library of over 100 million songs on a larger screen, direct access to Spotify isn't universally available.
Specifically, if you're searching for a dedicated "VIDAA Spotify app" in the App Store on your Hisense TV, you'll likely come up empty-handed. This means you can't directly download and install Spotify on Hisense VIDAA Smart TVs.
However, this doesn't mean all Hisense TVs are out of luck! Other Hisense models do offer direct Spotify compatibility. And for those with a VIDAA OS TV, fret not! This guide provides comprehensive tips on how to download and play Spotify on all Hisense TVs, ensuring everyone can enjoy their favorite tunes on the big screen. Let's dive into the details.

Part 1. How to Get Spotify on Hisense VIDAA TV for Free
Current Situation about VIDAA Spotify Integration
Hisense has developed and updated its proprietary operating system, called VIDAA OS, which is not built on Android. Due to this, Hisense VIDDA TV doesn't have native compatibility with the existing Spotify application. This lack of support has led to over 300 "vorts" (votes or requests) from users seeking a Spotify app for their Hisense VIDAA TVs. However, there's no official word from Spotify or Hisense that a dedicated Spotify app will be available in the VIDAA app store.
While you can access the Spotify Web Player, most TV processors struggle to run it smoothly, leading to the "painfully slow" experience mentioned in the Reddit case.
Easy Workaround to Get Spotify on VIDAA TV
Even without a dedicated Hisense VIDAA Spotify app, Spotify users, both Free and Premium, can still enjoy their favorite music on VIDAA TV. The solution is to save Spotify tracks to a USB drive and then put them on Hisense Smart TV for offline listening via USB port. This way can make Spotify work on all models of Hisense TVs.
Since Spotify uses an encoded format restricted to its own player, you cannot simply transfer songs directly. To bypass this, DRmare Spotify Music Converter allows you to download and convert tracks into Hisense VIDAA TV-compatible formats like MP3 and FLAC.

Part 4. FAQs about Hisense Spotify
What Hisense TVs are compatible with Spotify?
Hisense TVs running Android TV, Google TV, or Roku TV support the official Spotify app, which can be downloaded from the respective App Stores. However, Hisense TVs with VIDAA OS don't have the native Spotify support.
Why does Hisense VIDAA not have Spotify?
Hisense VIDAA TVs have adopted VIDAA OS, a proprietary operating system that Spotify does not support. This is because VIDAA OS is not based on Android, unlike systems like Android TV or Google TV, which allow the direct installation of third-party apps like Spotify from the Google Play Store. In such cases, you can use Spotify Web Player via the built-in browser or stream from another device using Spotify Connect, Chromecast, or AirPlay.
How to Fix Spotify Hisense Not Working?
If you're experiencing issues with Spotify on your Hisense TV, try these troubleshooting steps:
- Check Your Internet Connection – Ensure your TV has a stable Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Restart your router if needed.
- Update Your TV's Firmware – Go to Settings > System Update and install any available updates.
- Reinstall the Spotify App – If your TV supports the app, uninstall and reinstall it from the app store.
- Use the Web Player – If the app isn't available, open Spotify Web Player in your TV's browser.
- Clear Cache & Restart – If using a browser, clear cache/cookies in the browser settings and restart the TV.
- Use an External Streaming Device – Connect a Fire Stick, Chromecast, or Apple TV to stream Spotify on your TV.
- Check Spotify Server Status – Visit Spotify's official website or social media pages to see if there are outages.
My Hisense TV is laggy when I use the browser for Spotify. How can I fix it?
TV browsers are not optimized for heavy web apps. To speed things up, go to Settings > System > Application Settings and Clear Cache/Cookies. However, for a truly smooth experience, the USB method remains superior.
Can I sideload the Spotify APK on VIDAA?
No. VIDAA is not Android-based, so .APK files will not work. Stick to the built-in Media Player or external streaming sticks.
