📺 How to Watch Your Dance Recital Video on a TV
Vimeo no longer supports apps on most Smart TVs, Roku, or Fire TV. But don’t worry, you can still watch the recital on your big screen by casting it from your phone, tablet, or computer, as long as both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
