South Korean tech giant Samsung has launched a web version of its free ad-supported Smart TV Plus streaming service.
According to ANI, the launch is for both live and linear programming. The company has also added casting support for Chromecast devices.
As the streaming product, which was previously limited to Samsung TV and mobile devices, launched as a web service in the second quarter.
It is a new product by the company in the streaming services and has launched with seemingly little fanfare.
The company also states that the rollout would make the app which was previously limited to Samsung users, and now it is widely available to anyone.
The rollout was confirmed by the spokesperson of the company.
The Samsung TV Plus service has been around for years and it is been available on Samsung smart TVs since 2016, “but the rollout to the additional devices are outside of the streaming ecosystem places which is more directly in competition with ad-supported streaming like Peacock, the Roku Channel, or any number of linear-programming freebies like Pluto TV or Plex”.
