Although most hotels currently have smart televisions that, a priori, are compatible with any streaming platform or browser that allows us to interact with it with maximum ease, the reality is that a large number of them have a restriction , called Hotel Mode, which prevents us from being able to enjoy all its options. However, a trick has appeared on TikTok that has gone viral that allows us to unlock our TV. We tell you.
Historically, hotel televisions have always been characterized by having certain limitations which, at the time, could be unlocked by paying a fee at the hotel reception. As televisions have evolved and we have an increasing number of devices that allow us to connect to the Internet, this measure no longer makes sense. However, despite this, they still do Using Hotel Mode in some cases that prevent us from being able to do typical things that we do every day on our TV: From connecting a Chromecast to accessing our Prime Video or Netflix account.
Although we can find different sources of information on the Internet that can help us try to bypass this blockage, none of them have become as viral as the one proposed by TikTok user @kosmotropic. Which, in just under a minute, teaches us everything we need to know to be able to avoid blocking in this way and enjoy the content of a Smart TV.
@kosmotropic How to remove hotel mode and be able to access Smart TV and everything on the hotel TV #hotel #trick #fyp #makemeviral #noquemacuh #hack #hacked #Madrid #lentils #for you
Use this sequence of numbers
As we can see from the first seconds of the video, this user uses the combination of numbers: 319753 and, followed by them, the Mute button. That is, silencing the sound of our television, which is usually present on any remote control, regardless of the brand of television in question. Once we type it, a settings menu appears and, at that point, is when we must click on the button Professional Settings.
We must go down through all the options that this menu offers us until we can reach “Smart TV Settings”. And, immediately afterwards, we can select between three modes: Off, Default or App Control. We have to opt for the option that appears as “Default”.
When we are going to exit the menu, a notice will appear that warns us if we want to save the menu or if we want to exit without saving the changes we have just made. It is important to click on the save button and restart the television.
A Smart TV with all its features
If we have carried out all the steps described above correctly, we will be able to enjoy a Smart TV without any limitations. Therefore, we will be able to download new applications if we access our user account or connect our Chromecast using the hotel’s WiFi network. As well as accessing our streaming accounts.
At this point, it is important to keep in mind that when we leave the hotel, we close the session of all the platforms and accounts that we have accessed once Hotel Mode unlocked. Otherwise, other users could generate charges for which the hotel would probably not be responsible for having bypassed the restriction activated by themselves.
