Google TV integrates with over 50 streaming services and apps, here’s the full list [U]

Perhaps the most useful thing about the new Google TV platform is the ability to aggregate and organize content from a variety of different sources. Which ones, though? Here’s a full list of streaming services and apps that Google TV supports.

Last updated 3/2/2023

Of course, Google can pull content from its own services such as YouTube TV and also Google TV (formerly Play Movies). Beyond that, however, are quite a few third-party services. Major players like Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max are included, and NBC’s Peacock.

The full list of services and apps supported by Google TV in the United States can be found below, with over 50 options currently available in the US alone.

This list of supported streaming services will likely expand over time, so we’ll keep an eye out for changes on Google TV and update this article accordingly.


Update 3/2/2023: Since our last update in September of 2022, Google TV has shuffled up its catalog and bit and now offers integration with seven more streaming services.

The most notable additions here include the Amazon-owned MGM+ and Freevee, both of which have full Google TV integration with an appearance in search results as well as the ability to link your account. Plex is another notable addition, with content from the platform’s free library now appearing in Google TV search results.

Other new services integrating with Google TV include Brown Sugar, FlixLatino, Red Bull TV, and Zee5.

This also comes as Google TV has been upgrading the experience as a whole, with a recent update to the homescreen bringing support for new content hubs as well as improved navigation.


Apps that support Google TV’s Live tab

Some services, too, can integrate with the “Live” tab on the Google TV homescreen. Currently, though, there are only four apps that support this functionality.

  • YouTube TV
  • Sling TV
  • Philo
  • Pluto TV

Why isn’t Netflix on Google TV?

Netflix is a bit of an outlier on Google TV. The biggest streaming service in the world, unfortunately, doesn’t play nice with the platform. You can see Netflix content using Google TV’s directory lookup feature, but Netflix blocks its original content from being used in the watchlist feature. Netflix ripped this support from the platform in late 2020, including support for account linking. That means that Google TV won’t offer any recommendations for Netflix content. However, we have seen Netflix run ads on Google TV in recent months.

The stalemate on Netflix and Google TV support has been ongoing for roughly two years at this point, and shows no signs of getting better even as of 2023.

Regional Google TV apps

Our list above shows apps that are supported in the United States, but Google TV supports service in more regions, too. Below, we have a list of apps that are fully supported in various other regions. Keep in mind, though, that as we are based in the US, this section may not be complete. We’re working on it!

The lists below include only services specific to regions other than the US. Most of these regions also support services in the larger list above.

Where is the Play Movies app and the Play Store on Google TV?

The Google Play Movies & TV app that this new platform replaces had a similar function to Google TV by finding content on a variety of different services, but it wasn’t very widely used. By integrating with your account-wide Google watchlist and being placed directly on your TV, Google TV has a much better chance to support this function.

Meanwhile, the Play Store also doesn’t show up as an app on Google TV either. The only easy way to open it is to ask the Assistant to “open the Play Store.”
