1:1 Q&A Overview
The TV Seller Office operates 1:1 Q&A to support a seller when there is a problem with application service or application management on Samsung Smart TV, or when you need technical support for TV application development.
1:1 Q&A is an interactive service. When a seller registers a question, Samsung will review and answer it, or if there is a problem with a specific application, Samsung can first ask the seller to create a 1:1 Q&A ticket.
