Subscription plans

Voot is available for free but at the cost of having to watch ads. If you want the full premium Voot experience, which includes Indian and international TV programs and movies, you’ll have to fork out for a Voot Select subscription

You can opt for either a yearly or monthly plan, with the ability to cancel at any time. It’s also possible to get a free trial for up to two weeks, although you’ll still need to input payment details. However, unlike Netflix, a Voot subscription only covers one device. 

Original content

With so many on-demand apps around, a service needs to offer something new or different. Whereas Hotstar, another leading Indian TV service, is partnered with Disney+, Voot is part of the Viacom18 family.

What this means is you’ll have access to exclusive TV shows like Asur, Marzi, Fuh Se Fantasy, It’s Not That Simple! and much more. Viacom18 is part of a huge broadcast network, which means you’ll also be able to watch TV from the US (including The Twilight Zone, MTV, Comedy Central) and films from across the globe. 

Multiple languages

Voot doesn’t just cater to different TV tastes - you can also use the app in Marathi, Kannada, Bengali, Telugu, Gujarati, and Tamil. Want to watch live news in your language? No problem. Find content that caters to your region.

Is Voot available on Android TV?

Wondering if Voot can seamlessly integrate into your Android TV? Rest assured, the process is straightforward:

  1. Smart TV Home Screen: Begin by navigating to the home screen of your Smart TV.
  2. Google PlayStore: Access the Google PlayStore on your device and search for the "Voot" application. Install the app once located.
  3. Open Voot App: Once installed, open the Voot app on your Smart TV.
  4. Activation Code: When attempting to play content, you'll be prompted to enter the activation code for logging into your Voot account. Note down the mentioned code.
  5. Activation Online: Using any mobile device or desktop, browse to the activation page. Enter your account details and the activation code when prompted.
  6. Continue Watching: After entering the activation code, click on the "Continue" button, and you're all set to enjoy Voot on your Android TV.

Is the Voot app free to use?

Indeed, registering on the Voot app is a complimentary affair, allowing users to access a substantial portion of the content for free. However, for enthusiasts seeking a deeper dive into premium content, a subscription to Voot Select is required. This premium service unlocks a world of exclusive offerings, providing an uninterrupted and enriched streaming experience.

Our take

There are a few technical caveats to Voot, however. First, although you can download it for Android, iOS, and Fire TV, it’s only available in India. Secondly, users have been reporting issues with TV buffering and a lack of updates, so keep this in mind if you want to give it a go.

Should You Download It?

Yes, if you’re living in India and want access to exclusive shows and movies. Otherwise, you may be better off with other streaming Android apps like Netflix.
