A Smart TV can connect to the internet to access content, so you can download the apps you need from your television's app store.
Most Smart TVs have their own default apps for Video such as You Tube , Netflix, Amazon Prime or Vimeo. A Smart TV connected to the internet can only view video from You Tube for example, by using the You Tube app on your TV. Like wise for all the other default apps installed on your TV.
