Google TV (service)
Google TV, formerly known as Google Play Movies & TV, is a digital distribution service for movies and television series developed by Google. Launched in 2011 as part of the Google Play product line, the service offers search and discovery of video titles across multiple streaming services, including rental or purchase options, alongside watchlist features for accessing titles from eligible devices and platforms. In September 2020, it was relaunched as Google TV.
The purchased or rented video titles can be watched by a signed-in user on Android TV devices, Google TV devices, the Google TV mobile app (Android and iOS), and YouTube. The Google TV mobile app can download video for offline watching. The search, discover and watchlist options are also available on the Google Search website, the Google TV app on mobile devices, TVs with Google Assistant, and Google TV devices.
The Google Movies service was launched in May 2011. It was rebranded under Google Play in March 2012.
