The catalog of applications for smart TVs from Samsung Smart TV has expanded its list with a video application from the social network, called “OK Video”. In order to start using it, Smart TV users do not need to register on the social network itself. The application is distributed absolutely free of charge.

It is worth noting the fact that the application from the Odnoklassniki network could have appeared on Smart TV several years ago, because even then its owner Mail.ru Group was thinking about this idea. But, by the way, during that period of time a special one was released, linked to VKontakte, which in 2014 was 52% owned by Mail. After just 9 days of operation, this widget stopped working and was removed from the catalog.

The main types of OK Video content will be various ones uploaded by users of the Odnoklassniki social network. Also, access to licensed videos with high image quality will be provided, ranging from regular HD to Ultra HD and 4K. In addition, live broadcasts of some television channels will be held here, including: Dozhd, RBC, LifeNews and others. Monetization of the application for Smart TV will occur by inserting advertising into videos. The Pladform system has become an official commercial partner of Ok.ru, whose main task will be the so-called “cleaning” of video rights in order to direct all earnings to its true owners. This even applies to ordinary people, for example, those who downloaded a movie without having anything to do with it.

The cooperation between Mail.ru Group and Pladform has been going on for more than one year. So, a couple of years ago she already appeared on Odnoklassniki (2013), and one year later on Vkontakte and the social network My World. Fruitful cooperation took place within the framework of mobile applications, since at that time there were no applications for Smart TV yet.

The choice in favor of adding the Odnoklassniki application to Smart TV, rather than the same VK, was made because it was this social platform that showed itself to be more profitable commercially on various devices other than personal computers, even despite the fact that the number of downloads mobile client is much higher. App Anine, which conducted special research on this matter, came to these conclusions. Why this happens is not entirely clear. Perhaps it all depends on the approach to monetizing audiences, and in VK this process is not set up so competently, and therefore did not even make it into the top 10 in terms of income. Although in terms of quantity, the numbers should be at least the same.

According to some experts, the total audience of all Smart TV users in Russia is 6.9% of the Internet audience, which signals its significant growth over the period of 2015. That is why the choice was made in favor of this platform. Also, some sources are confident that the next step will be the release of OK Video on LG TVs.
