I have a Samsung tv an tried to play games on Stadia by purchasing a tv box from Walmart Onn like Chromecast. I can't seem to play Stadia after I installed the Onn an downloaded the Stadia app, what do I need to do go out an buy the Google Chromecast? I do have the Stadia controller.
Hello @Bdwins1962
I don't know what may be going wrong for you with the Onn (and I don't have one to test it myself), but I have seen more than one report and/or review that indicate Stadia should work just fine on that device. I assume you've ensured it's had a chance to update itself to the latest Android TV release and that you installed the Stadia app directly through the store (not using the old side-load of the Android phone APK)? In general, it really should work exactly the same as it does on the Google Chromecast with Google TV device.
P.S. @AndroiFy Samsung TVs run Tizen, not Android TV. So, they don't support Stadia – at least not yet.
Well installed Chromecast Google Tv an downloaded the Stadia an after a few tries was able to play Madden 21, looking towards getting Madden 22.
Hi @Bdwins1962 do you have the option to install the app on your Samsung TV?

You can download the Stadia app on the Onn tv box, the problem for me is connecting my Stadia controller to the app because it won't display a code that I need to pair my Stadia controller to the game. I only have the Stadia controller not the Chromecast.
When you go to the controller section in the app it doesn't display a link code? Can you post a screenshot of what the controller section of the app looks like for you?

I think OP needs to better define "can't seem to play". What exactly is the problem?
I have the same problem. Own the stadia, my onn shows a code, but still doesn't connect. Downloaded the app from store on the onn and on my phone too. I think there's still some kind of problem.
Hi @Romiust,
This is an older post so we're going to go ahead and lock it now. If you still need help after trying the suggestions here, I'd recommend creating a new post so that you can get better visibility in our community.
Thank you,
