In order to access the Google Play Store on your Android TV device, you will need to have an email address that is associated with Google through a Google Account. If you don't already have a Google account, you will need to create one. The email you use does not necessarily need to be a Gmail address.
We will show you how to do this on an Android TV Onn device. If the email address you are trying to use is not registered as a Google Account, you will see the error, "Couldn't find your Google Account."
There are two options to create an account:
- Create a new email address directly on the device, or
- Register an existing email address using an URL link
Create a new email
- On the Onn device, select “Create Account” at the bottom of the screen.
- You will be guided through the setup process and asked for your information.
- Choose an automated Gmail email address or create your own.
- Scroll down and accept the Privacy and Terms.
You will be taken to the Home screen of the Onn device. - You can now access the Google Play Store to get the VidAngel TV app installed on your new Onn device!
Use an exisiting email
You can use a pre-existing email address and register it as a Google Account, such as a yahoo, or aol email address.
- Click this link: Create your Google Account
- You will need to fill in the requested information.
Be sure to enter your chosen email address in the “Your email address” box, which will connect your email address to a new Google Account. - Use that email address to sign in on your Onn device.
- If needed, on your Onn device select “Settings” at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- Select “Accounts & Sign In”
- Select “+ Add account"
- Select “Sign In” and then enter your original email address and the password you created when registering it as a Google Account.
