HuddleTape
Watch-party ticker for Google TV HuddleTape

Your crew’s bets, live on the TV.

HuddleTape floats a neon ticker over whatever’s on. Friends scan a QR, join in their browser, and the whole room sweats every pick together. Wins get a quiet WON stamp. Losses crack and fall. Tailer shows up when someone rides along.

How it works

Three steps, and nobody passes a phone around.

  1. 1

    Put it on the TV

    Open HuddleTape on your Google TV and start a room. The ticker sits along the bottom of the screen, over the game.

  2. 2

    Scan the QR code

    Friends point their phone camera at the code on the TV and join in the browser. No app, no account to set up.

  3. 3

    Your picks scroll live

    Drop in a screenshot of the picks you already made and watch them ride the ticker with a live % chance.

Built to be watched

Everybody’s sweat, one screen. The game stays front and center.

Screenshot import

Snap the slip you already have and HuddleTape reads the picks for you. Screenshots are read on your phone and never uploaded.

Live % chance

Every pick shows a live chance that moves as the game does, so the room knows exactly where things stand.

Meet Tailer

Riding along with a friend’s pick? Tailer, our golden retriever, trots across the ticker and drops your name tag on it.

Quiet wins, dramatic losses

A settled winner gets a small WON stamp and a soft glow. A miss cracks and falls off the ticker. No confetti blocking the replay.

Works over any app

The ticker floats over live TV, streaming apps and multiview. Keep watching what you want; HuddleTape just rides along at the bottom.

Built for Google TV

HuddleTape runs on Google TV and Android TV devices that allow “Display over other apps.” Friends only need a phone with a camera and a web browser.

Questions, answered

Is HuddleTape a sportsbook?

No. HuddleTape doesn’t take, place or settle wagers, and you can’t bet through it. It’s a watch-party display that shows picks your crew already made somewhere else, for fun and conversation.

Do my friends need to download anything?

No. They scan the QR code on the TV and join from their phone’s web browser.

What does it cost?

The beta is free. At launch, the TV host gets a 30-day free trial, then a small subscription. Final pricing will be posted before launch. Guests never pay.

Which TVs does it work on?

Google TV and Android TV devices. Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV and Samsung/LG apps aren’t supported yet. A Google TV streamer on any HDMI TV works great.

Will everyone see how much I put down?

Dollar amounts are off by default, so the ticker shows names, picks and % chance. You can hide your picks from the ticker anytime.

What happens to my screenshots and account info?

Screenshots are read on your phone and never uploaded. If you connect an account, access is read-only and the key is stored only on your TV. See the Privacy Policy.

When can I get it?

The private beta starts around Thanksgiving 2026, and the public Google Play launch is planned for January 2027. Join the beta to get in early.
