If your TV doesn't support the Spotify app, the Spotify Web Player offers a practical alternative—provided your TV has a built-in browser capable of multimedia playback (e.g., VIDAA OS or others labeled "Internet" or "Web").

While the Web Player lacks features like high-quality streaming and personalized recommendations, it's still a viable way to access Spotify on unsupported models.

1. Make sure your TV is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network.
2. On the Home screen, open the Web browser (often labeled "Internet" or "Web").
3. Use the on-screen or USB keyboard to go to https://music.spotify.com.
4. Log in with your Spotify credentials.
5. Don't have an account? You can register directly from the Web Player.
6. Once signed in, browse songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts.
7. Control playback with your remote, or connect a USB keyboard for easier navigation. You can also use Spotify Connect to control playback remotely.

Method 3. Play Spotify on Hisense TV Using a USB Drive (Recommended)

If your Hisense TV doesn't support Spotify, such as other models or those without a direct app, including VIDAA-based models, you can still enjoy your Spotify music by using the ViWizard Spotify Music Converter.

Casting is one of the easiest ways to enjoy Spotify on your Hisense TV—no cables needed. Whether you're using Google Cast (Chromecast) or AirPlay, it works as long as both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.

4. Tap the Cast icon (rectangle with a Wi-Fi symbol).

5. Tap Screen Mirroring and select your Hisense TV.
6. Control playback as you normally would from your iPhone or iPad.

For Miracast:

1. Ensure both your Hisense TV and Windows PC or Android device support Miracast and are on the same Wi-Fi network.
2. On your Windows PC, press Win + K to open the Cast menu. Alternatively, go to Settings > Display > Connect to a wireless display.
3. Select your Hisense TV from the list of available devices. Once connected, your entire screen will mirror to the TV.
4. Open Spotify on your PC, and play any song—it will stream directly with both audio and visuals on the TV.
5. To disconnect, press Win + K again and click Disconnect under your TV.

Android tip: Some Android phones have a "Smart View," "Screen Cast," or "Wireless Display" feature in the quick settings panel. Tap it, select your Hisense TV, and once mirrored, open Spotify to play music through your TV's speakers.
