From Native to React Native for TV: The Zattoo Case

TV platforms are converging, and teams are under increasing pressure to deliver consistent experiences across multiple environments without multiplying effort. This session shares how Zattoo approached that challenge by moving from separate native applications to a unified React Native strategy, focusing on speed of delivery, maintainability, and long-term scalability.
We’ll walk through the key decisions behind the migration, how it impacted team structure and day-to-day work, and what the transition process looked like in practice. You’ll hear what worked well, what didn’t, and the main challenges encountered along the way, including performance considerations and platform differences.
The session also covers how many platforms Zattoo is targeting today and how their approach enables them to expand further without starting over. It’s a practical look at building high-quality TV apps with a shared foundation, based on real production experience.
Register now to learn from Zattoo’s experience and see how a shared React Native approach can support your TV platform strategy.
