Google TV

A single place to find something to watch

Google TV brings films and television shows from supported streaming services into one browsing experience. It suits Android users who have several subscriptions and would rather search one catalogue than open each service separately. Recommendations, categories and title pages help narrow down what to watch without requiring a specific app to be the starting point.

More than a catalogue

You can save titles to a shared watchlist and keep track of them across compatible devices, including phones, browsers and TVs. Google TV also includes a remote-control feature for Android TV devices, with a keyboard that makes searches and password entry easier than entering text with directional buttons.

Buying, renting and offline viewing

Where supported, the app also provides access to films and shows that can be rented or bought. Purchased content is collected in a library, and selected titles can be downloaded for viewing when an internet connection is not available. Google TV does not replace every streaming service: you may still need the relevant provider’s app and subscription to play a title.

What the numbers suggest

Google TV sits in the Video Players & Editors category and is published by Google LLC. Its rating is about 3.9 out of 5 from more than 2.8 million reviews, with 10 billion-plus installs. That reach makes it a practical choice for people already using Google and Android TV products, though the services, shops and features available can differ by region.
