Meanwhile, the Play Store also doesn’t show up as an app on Google TV either. 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. 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. If you live in these regions and have spotted a service we’re not listing, please contact the author! Where is the Play Movies app and the Play Store on Google TV? Most of these regions also support services in the larger list above. The lists below include only services specific to regions other than the US. Keep in mind, though, that as we are based in the US, this section may not be complete. Below, we have a list of apps that are fully supported in various other regions. Our list above shows apps that are supported in the United States, but Google TV supports service in more regions, too. The stalemate on Netflix and Google TV support has been ongoing for roughly a year at this point, and shows no signs of getting better.

However, we have seen Netflix run ads on Google TV in recent months. That means that Google TV won’t offer any recommendations for Netflix content. Netflix ripped this support from the platform in late 2020, including support for account linking. 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. The biggest streaming service in the world, unfortunately, doesn’t play nice with the platform. Netflix is a bit of an outlier on Google TV. Currently, though, there are only three apps that support this functionality. Some services, too, can integrate with the “Live” tab on the Google TV homescreen. This comes after Google TV recently added BET+, RaiPlay in Italy, and Pluto TV on the platform’s Live tab as a free streaming option. The service requires account linking for recommendations, but shows up in search results as a directory option regardless. The service’s integration appears to have been rolled out to all Google TV users, including in the United States.

Update 1/19: Google TV has rolled out support for Globoplay, a Brazilian streaming service. 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.
