Vizio manufactures a variety of audiovisual equipment for the home, with a focus on high-definition televisions. The company's products offer a connected living room experience through Internet apps -- often referred to as widgets -- that provide access to online services such as YouTube, eBay, Facebook and Flickr. You can add and remove widgets from your Vizio device's home screen as more widgets gradually come online. Acquire widgets through a special page in the Vizio device's menu called the Widget Gallery.

Turn your Vizio device on. If it is a device other than a television, such as a Blu-ray player, ensure your TV is switched to the correct input for the device.

Select the "All Widgets" button on the screen using the direction buttons on the remote control. A list of all available Vizio widgets is displayed.

Tips & Warnings

Most Vizio devices include a selection of pre-installed widgets.

Some widgets, such as Gmail, Facebook and Twitter, require you to enter your account details before you can use them on your Vizio device.

An Internet connection is required to access the Widget Gallery.
