How to Watch Netflix on Google TV via 3 Methods

Part 1. How to Watch Netflix on Google TV Directly

Before setting up Netflix on your Google TV, it's important to know that compatibility can vary depending on your device model and region. Full Netflix functionality is available only on certain Google TV devices, including:

• Sony Google TVs (all recent models)
• Hisense Google TVs (most newer models)
• Chromecast with Google TV 4K (all versions)

These devices come with the official Netflix app pre-installed and support the full range of Netflix features, including subtitles, closed captions, 4K resolution, HDR, and Dolby Atmos (where available).

However, some older Google TV models may have limitations. They might only allow Netflix access in the country where the device was originally purchased, require sideloading the Netflix app manually, and may not support premium features like 4K or HDR streaming.

After having the full knowledge of Netflix and Google TV integration, it's time to use Netflix on Google TV. If you don't see it, you can install and add the Netflix app from the Google Play Store on your smart TV.
