Google TV has added something new and quite handy to the application to put links to the most popular films and TV shows liked by the user. This update takes the cake as having the most simple and friendly method of recommending content to fellow users.
Google TV App Now Supports Easy Content Sharing
What is more, this feature is available in both ANDROID and INET applications and lets the user send a direct link to any movie or show. It can be accessed immediately by the recipient regardless of whether he/she is using a smart phone, tablet or computer.
It does align Google TV with other streaming services which have had options to share content on social networks for a while. This improvement might make users come across content through their friends more often.
Sharing on Google TV has recently been changed to include more of the interactive features that are now being incorporated into Google. But by creating an easy way to share links it is hoping to make the discovery of content much more of a social activity.
As reported by Phone Arena, this feature is already starting to roll out, and it should reach everyone soon. This update is particularly perfect for the always streaming and movie loving audience since it allows you to share your favorite titles within an application with a single tap.
Google TV Link Sharing Now Features Poster Images
Most of the update notices for the Google TV app are now accompanied by a shared links poster image while recommending movies or series. This feature makes shared content more eye-popping, reaching the recipient at once.
If Google TV app is installed at the recipient end, then simply by tapping on that shared link the movie or show is launched in their content list. I agree with this since it easy and convenient to flip over to the recommendation without further action.
In particular, if a client has not downloaded the application many will be redirected to either the Google TV website or application store. This creates convenience as the barrier of initial contact is minimized thus the possibility of people picking up the application is higher.
This smart addition targets both old and new Google TV users, who according to the developer, lose the feel of wanting to share and discover programs and shows. In fact, what google is clearly aiming at is an easily navigable and fun environment when it comes to usage.
With the help of this added sharing capability, Google TV is also expecting the increase in user engagement and content consumption. Recommendations on Google TV are more compelling because it is a share option with great visuals.
Google TV Sharing Feature: What You Need to Know
Google TV’s new sharing option helps to suggest Marquee content but does not provide direct access to shared films or series. People will require their subscription or to purchase them in order to watch the content in question.
Another choice beneficial for families is Google’s “Family Library”; what it does is let eligible purchases accessible across all connected accounts and grants access to movies and shows the family library has.
This sharing feature has now been added inside apps that are designed for Google TVs, both for the Android and built for Apple’s iOS. It is intended to make the suggestion of content easier for users.
Although efficient for making recommendations, the feature does not violate content owners rights, especially in(entities that allow only viewers with subscription or those willing to pay for content they wish to view.
Google’s team does not remain idle; the update is still present in the application aimed at improving the UI and interacting with the application. This new sharing form is actually a move made by Google in line with other moves that it has been making in a bid to make content discovery less of a lonely endeavor.
