About Video & TV SideView

Control your Sony Bravia TV with Video & TV SideView

What Video & TV SideView Is Used For

Video & TV SideView appears to be a Sony phone app made for controlling a Sony BRAVIA TV from an Android device. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used as a remote-control companion for navigating the TV, managing playback, and handling basic TV interaction over a network connection.

Because it includes Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and network permissions, the app may be designed to communicate with a nearby TV on the same home network and support device pairing or remote features. The video-player-related permissions also suggest it may work alongside Sony media playback or TV-related functions rather than acting as a general-purpose video editor. In practice, this kind of app is often used on a phone for easier control of a TV from the couch, especially when the physical remote is not nearby or when users want a touch-based interface.

The storage and notification permissions indicate it may also support media-related data access, app updates, or background alerts tied to TV or playback activity. Based on the metadata, this is best understood as a Sony TV companion app for remote control and related media convenience on a phone.

Common uses

  • Use touch controls instead of a physical remote
  • Connect over home Wi‑Fi for TV interaction
  • Manage basic playback or navigation tasks
