The video shows that the app looks pretty much like what we anticipated. The home screen has a “For you” section with personalized suggestions as well as a section for short videos that can be watched when you just want to fill a short period of time.Owji also notes that it’s a web app, so it theoretically should work on any smart television.X is reportedly launching the service with the goal of allowing users to watch “long videos on a bigger screen.”
