Why choose Google TV?
Get more out of your TV with Gemini
Find what to watch just by asking

From deep dives to quick facts, satisfy your curiosity without leaving the couch. Gemini brings your interests to life with detailed responses, vivid images, and supporting videos – turning your living room into a gateway for discovery.

Instead of navigating layers of complex menus, ask Gemini to do it for you3. Adjust picture and sound settings without leaving your show or even turn on movie or sports mode. It’s all the help you need, exactly when you need it.
Get creative with images and videos

TV that ties your home together
Smart home control
Dim the lights, turn down the temperature, and check your cameras – all from a smart home panel using your remote or your voice. Google TV connects with Google Home for seamless control of Nest doorbells and thermostats, and other supported smart home devices. Just like that, you’re ready for movie night.
Cross-brand compatibility
Google TV Streamers and select Google TVs are hubs for Google Home, meaning they can enable both local and remote access to control your Matter-supported devices.9
