As from this week, Google will now be providing more of its Google Play experience via its Google TV service, allowing users to enjoy Google Play Movies, TV Shows, and Music.
The new additions to the Google Play TV service will start rolling out over the coming weeks, enabling you to purchase or rent content directly through your Google TV.
As well as being able to purchase new content, any previous movies, music, or TV shows you have purchased on other devices will also be available to browse and play on your Google TV system, and vice versa. Google explained in their press release today:
“Google Play gives you one place to find, enjoy and share your favorite entertainment with millions of songs and thousands of movies and TV shows for sale, and adds to the millions of entertainment options available for you on Google TV through YouTube, TV & Movies, Search and the full web through Chrome.”
Enhanced User Experience
Google TV also provides recommendations for movies, TV shows, and music from the likes of Netflix, Amazon, and now Google Play. This integration aims to create a seamless user experience, allowing you to access a wide variety of content without needing to switch between different apps or services. The recommendations are tailored to your viewing habits, making it easier to discover new content that you might enjoy. For instance, if you frequently watch action movies, Google TV will suggest similar titles available on Google Play, Netflix, or Amazon.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
One of the standout features of this update is the cross-platform compatibility. Whether you have purchased content on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can now access it on your Google TV. This means you can start watching a movie on your phone during your commute and finish it on your TV at home without any hassle. This level of integration is particularly beneficial for users who are deeply embedded in the Google ecosystem, as it provides a unified entertainment experience across all devices.
Moreover, Google TV’s integration with Google Play also supports family sharing. This allows multiple family members to share purchased content, making it a cost-effective solution for households. For example, a family can buy a movie once and everyone can watch it on their respective devices, whether it’s a TV, tablet, or smartphone.
Future Prospects
Looking ahead, this integration could pave the way for even more features and services to be added to Google TV. With the increasing popularity of streaming services, Google is likely to continue expanding its offerings to include more content and features. This could potentially include live TV streaming, more interactive features, and even integration with smart home devices.
