@carter , I’m not sure if remotely locking an app on Android TV is possible through Hexnode. Iwhat you’re looking for is device-lockdown mechanism, then yes, that is supported by Hexnode. Hexnode’s got a single and multi-app kiosk lockdown feature that restricts Android TV to running single or multiple applications.

No, @roosevelt . I just got some apps installed on the devices at my work, which I want to lock or remove. Kiosk is unfortunately not the way I want to go.

You’re right,  @carter . Remote locking apps on Android TV is not a feature that is currently supported on Hexnode UEM. You can however use the Uninstall Application remote action if you want to remove any undesired app from the device. 

Here’s how you can do this, 

  1. Log in to Hexnode UEM. 

  1. Go to Manage > Devices and select the required device. 

  1. Then, click on Actions and under Applications, select Uninstall Application. 

  1. Select the app you want to uninstall and then click on Done.
