As of 2023, VIDAA runs on over 30 million connected devices worldwide and is the fastest-growing smart TV platform.[2] In 2024, VIDAA was the second most installed smart TV operating system behind Tizen.[3]
Overview
[edit]VIDAA is implemented on a range of smart TVs produced by manufacturers such as Hisense,[4] Toshiba,[5] and Loewe.[6] The operating system is able to aggregate content from various sources, allowing users to access different services from a unified platform.[7]
