ArtFrame

Not supported

Last reviewed 2026-11-02.

ArtFrame is an Android TV screensaver app. It needs a device that runs Google TV or Android TV and lets a computer install apps and choose the screensaver. These don’t.

What to do instead

Plug a supported streaming device into the TV and use that as your input:

  • Google TV Streamer or Chromecast with Google TV: see their guides.
  • NVIDIA SHIELD TV: also lets you pick ArtFrame in its own menus.
  • onn. Google TV 4K (Walmart): an inexpensive option.

ArtFrame then runs on the streaming device and shows on the TV through HDMI.
