Joining competitors like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, CBS All Access, and a long list of others, Quibi is the latest subscription-based video streaming service to arrive on your phone.
But unlike other streaming services, Quibi is designed with short form, "snackable" video in mind. In fact, that's where the name comes from it's meant as a mash-up of the words "quick" and "bite," which suggests how you're supposed to consume Quibi video, on your phone while on the go.
And because that's the concept behind the service, TV is not currently an option.

Because the service was originally intended to comprise short, snackable content you watched on the go, Quibi wasn't designed to be installed on smart TVs, nor can it be "cast" to televisions using Chromecast.

That might change, though, if consumer viewing behavior continues to be impacted by the coronavirus pandemic for an extended period of time. But for now, it's iOS and Android only.
