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.
The service is available within the “Your Services” menu on Google TV devices and can send recommendations along with showing up in search directories.
Update 11/29: In a further expansion of its support for more niche streaming services, Google TV added support for BET+ account linking in recent weeks. 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.
