Learn About Google TV

Entertainment you love. With a little help from Google.

Google TV brings together movies, shows, live TV and more from across your apps and subscriptions and organizes them just for you.

No more jumping from app to app

Browse more than 700,000 movies and TV episodes, plus live TV, from across your streaming services — in one place, and organized by the genres and topics that interest you the most.*

Just ask to find thousands of movies and shows

Ask Google Assistant to find great stuff to watch.* Quickly track down a specific title, or explore entire genres by saying, “Search for funny shows.” You can even get personalized recommendations by asking, “What should I watch?”

Seamlessly integrated live TV

Live TV is just a click away, with its own dedicated tab.* Live entertainment is also mixed into your recommendations, based on your favorite teams, shows and channels. Also, don’t miss free live channels from Google TV Freeplay right out of the box. Just turn on your TV and start watching. No app download or subscription required.

TV for the whole family

With kids’ profiles, kids get their very own Google TV experience — a space that’s just for them, with their own apps and entertainment. Kids can pick from a selection of playful avatars and themes, and parents can restrict what streaming services are shown, limit watching time, and set a bedtime.

Stream from your phone

Easily cast movies, shows, photos and more from your phone or tablet, right to your TV.*

Life on display

Transform your idle TV into a personal masterpiece with Ambient Mode. Breathe life into your screen with AI-powered art generated from your voice* or a guided experience, or relive your favorite moments by showcasing your Google Photos.*

One list for all your discoveries

Keep all your shows and movies in a single watchlist, no matter which app it’s on. That means no more hunting app to app to find what you want to watch. Hear about an interesting show or movie? Add it to your watchlist from your TV, phone, laptop, or through Google Search on any browser and pick right up on the big screen later.* You can even create a watchlist for your kid’s profile, without ever leaving your own.
