Can Insignia TVs play videos?

Modified on Tue, Dec 23 at 4:41 PM

Most Insignia TVs can play video files, but the details depend on the model and how you provide the video.

USB video playback

  • Many Insignia Fire TV–based models support video, music, and photos from a USB flash drive via the built‑in Media Player app.
  • Drives usually need to be formatted as FAT32 (which is the main BillionDollarArtGallery format).
  •  Compatible video formats often include MP4, which is the format for BillionDollarArtGallery videos.

When videos don’t play

  • If a video file is “unsupported,” installing a media player app such as VLC from the TV’s app store can expand the number of formats that will play from USB.
  • Some older or very basic Insignia TVs only officially support photos (JPEG) from USB, in which case an external streaming device (Fire Stick, Roku, etc.) or HDMI source is the easiest way to play videos.

How to check your specific TV

  • Look up your exact model number in the user manual or on the product page and check the “USB” or “Media” section for supported video formats.
