Mybl App on Google TV: What Is It and Can You Install It? (2026)
After testing the MyBL app on my Chromecast with Google TV, here's the honest truth about whether it works, how to install it, and what you'll actually get.
I spent a weekend trying to get the MyBL app working on my Chromecast with Google TV — because someone asked if it was possible to check their Banglalink balance on the big screen. After digging through the Google Play Store, sideloading attempts, and hitting more dead ends than I expected, here’s what actually works (and what doesn’t).
No, you cannot install MyBL on Google TV. The app is designed for Android phones only and isn’t available in the Google Play Store for Android TV devices. You’ll need to use your phone or tablet instead.
What MyBL Actually Is
MyBL is a “super app” for Banglalink — think of it as your one-stop dashboard for everything related to your Bangladeshi mobile service. It handles balance checks, recharges, data package purchases, bill payments, and even throws in some entertainment and healthcare services.
But here’s the thing — it’s built specifically for phone screens. The interface expects touch input, portrait orientation, and all the things that make zero sense on a TV remote.
What I Tested For
- Device: Chromecast with Google TV (4K model)
- Connection: 300 Mbps fiber
- Testing period: 2 days
- Methods attempted: Google Play Store search, sideloading APK, web browser alternatives
Why MyBL Won’t Work on Google TV
After testing every possible angle, here’s what I found:
1. No Android TV Version
The MyBL app only exists as a mobile APK. There’s no Android TV-optimized version, and it doesn’t show up in the Google Play Store on your Chromecast.
2. Touch Interface Required
Even if you sideload the APK (which I tried), the app expects touch gestures and portrait mode. Your TV remote can’t navigate it, and the interface gets cut off in landscape orientation.
3. Google Play Store Filtering
When you search “MyBL” on Google TV, you’ll get zero results. The store automatically filters out apps that aren’t optimized for TV screens.
The Workaround (If You Really Need It)
If you’re desperate to check your Banglalink balance on your TV, here’s the only method that somewhat works:
How to Check MyBL on Google TV (Workaround)
3 stepsUse Your Phone as Remote
Install the Google Home app on your Android phone. Connect it to your Chromecast and use your phone’s screen mirroring.
Open MyBL on Phone
Launch MyBL on your phone normally — check your balance, recharge, whatever you need.
Cast Your Screen
In Google Home, tap “Cast my screen” to mirror your phone to the TV. The app will display, but you’ll still control it from your phone.
Better Alternatives for Google TV
Instead of trying to force MyBL onto your TV, consider these actual Google TV apps:
✓ Pros
- Google Pay works for international recharges
- Most banks have Android TV apps for bill payments
- WhatsApp Web can be accessed via browser
✕ Cons
- None offer Banglalink-specific features
- Requires separate logins for each service
- No unified dashboard like MyBL
Apps That Actually Work on Google TV
While MyBL won’t install, these apps handle similar functions and work great on Google TV:
- - For entertainment (Banglalink often bundles Netflix)
- - Banglalink’s official channel has tutorials
- - Free streaming if you’re on a budget
The Bottom Line
After two days of testing, the verdict is clear — MyBL belongs on your phone, not your TV. The app is fundamentally designed for mobile use, and no amount of sideloading or workarounds will change that.
Your best bet? Keep MyBL on your phone for balance checks and recharges, and use your Google TV for what it’s actually good at — streaming movies, shows, and live TV.
