How to utilise Google TV

 

Google TV is more than just a revamped TV interface with a modern look. Additionally, it serves as your one-stop shop for all things amusing. It does a better job than the standard Android TV at bringing all of your streaming apps together in one location. And it extends far beyond that. More cross-device functionality is made possible by this mobile app.

Let's learn how to utilize Google TV and take advantage of all of its useful smart features since many new Android streaming boxes and TVs now have the new interface preinstalled.

Another time-saving feature of Google TV is the ability to combine your participating apps' Continue Watching lists on the home screen. Without entering the app first, you could skip to the following episode. The watchlist function on Google TV is the same. You can make a single watchlist that syncs to your Google account and works across all of your devices (similar to what JustWatch and other apps offer). As a result, when you add a new movie from a Google search to your watchlist, it immediately shows up on your Chromecast.

Both Google TV and Android TV are available (which got its own facelift not too long ago). However, more companies have embraced Google's new TV interface, including Sony and Hisense. Hopefully, Google TV will gradually replace its outdated TV software and become the main streaming center in your living room.

What is Google TV used for?

The only way to obtain Google TV is to purchase a TV set or streaming device that already has it installed (unless you want to load it onto your existing Android TV with a process that is quite involved and not meant for everyone). The Google Chromecast or a modern TV from Hisense, Philips, Sony, or TCL is currently your best options.

For a simple setup of your new Google TV device, utilize the Google Home app on your smartphone. To get your watchlist and material synced across all of your devices, follow the guided setup instructions and connect your device to your Gmail account when requested. The brand-new Google TV home screen will soon appear.
