We are making some changes to simplify how you purchase new movies or access the movies and TV shows you’ve purchased through Google.
With these changes, Google Play Movies & TV will no longer be available on Android TV devices or the Google Play website.* However, you’ll still be able to access all of your previously purchased titles (including active rentals) on Android TV devices, Google TV devices, the Google TV mobile app (Android and iOS), and YouTube.
Here’s how to access your movies and shows:
- On TVs and streaming devices powered by Android TV: Beginning January 17, 2024, the Shop tab will be your new home for watching previously purchased titles, or buying and renting new movies on Android TV. You’ll find purchased titles, including active rentals, in the Your Library row on the Shop tab.
- On cable boxes or set-top boxes powered by Android TV: Beginning January 17, 2024, the YouTube app will be your new home for watching previously purchased titles, or buying and renting new movies from Google. You’ll be able to access titles you purchased from Google, including active rentals, on the YouTube app. Please check the availability of YouTube services in your country here.
Please visit the Android TV Help Center, Google TV Help Center, or YouTube Help Center if you need help accessing your previous purchases and you can always find answers to common questions here in our community.
- On a web browser: Beginning January 17, 2024, YouTube will be your new home for watching previously purchased titles, or buying and renting new movies on a web browser. You’ll be able to access titles you purchased from Google, including active rentals, on the YouTube website. Please check the availability of YouTube services in your country here.
*This will roll out over the next few weeks depending on your location and country.
