FAQ
Google TV is the new, personalized experience that comes built-in to smart TVs and streaming devices from top brands. Google TV is powered by an underlying operating system called Android TV OS. Some smart TVs and streaming devices are powered by Android TV OS but do not have the Google TV interface. These devices are referred to as Android TV devices.
Google TV is the smart TV experience that's built right into select TV or streaming devices so there is no additional cost. The Google TV mobile app can also be downloaded at no charge from the Play Store or App Store.
Google TV can be accessed on smart TVs and streaming devices with Google TV built in, and through the Google TV mobile app for Android or iOS. The only Chromecast devices with access to the built in Google TV experience are the "Chromecast with Google TV" devices.
Google TV is working closely with its partners to develop sustainable practices in manufacturing, packaging, power consumption, and recycling that enable everyone to combat climate change and reduce waste. This includes Google’s own streaming device, Chromecast with Google TV, of which 49% of its plastic part weight is made with recycled material. In addition, the Chromecast with Google TV's packaging uses 92% paper and fiber-based materials with a goal to be fully paper-based and plastic-free by 2025.
Google’s recycling program helps you recycle your old Google products and other electronics no longer in use. Find businesses near you that offer recycling drop-off services with a search, such as "electronics recycling near me", in Search or Google Maps.
