Google hasn't realized that families use Google TV

The days of going to your local store to rent a movie are over. I still have some nostalgia over going with my grandfather, but the convenience of streaming is more important. One of the more common options is the streaming video store, which is owned by the internet giant.

You can get your movies on any of the excellent phones on the market, or you can get them on the latest iPhone. Users can pick their opinion of the service from a list of options.

If you're not familiar with this feature, you should download it now because it's an app that will periodically notify you that you have a survey available. The surveys are based on places you visit in the real world and on the internet. When you answer one of the surveys, you will get credit for spending on things from the digital stores of the search engine.

You can use your credit from the OpinionRewards app when you want to buy an app, book, or movie, instead of using your bank account. This is the reason I say that the service is the trick up of Google because it is a great way to get users to use its video streaming storefront over other options. You can buy what you want on all of your devices powered by the same company.

Now for the switch. One of the issues that can arise is when you use one of the products in a shared setting, like with your family. If I am the primary account on my Shield TV, I have to rent or buy a movie from the internet search engine. It is in my library and ready to be watched, but if my wife buys a movie through the internet, it is not a good idea to watch it on the TV.

My wife and I have been at odds over this issue for a long time. She will forget she has it because I tend to spend my credit as soon as I get it. We want to sit down and watch a movie. We complain about how dumb it is that she can't rent a movie and have it show in the library on our TV, even when she is signed into her account on the device.

We end up casting the movie to the TV and watching it that way because we have the same gripe session each time. That shouldn't be required. When my old Shield TV finally died on me, I picked up the Chromecast with the expectation that my wife would be able to rent the movie without it showing up.

One might think that issues like this would be rare in 2022, but sadly that isn't the case. The new interface of the TV platform is slowly transitioning from the old one to the new one. Since 2020, it has been making changes to the video streaming storefront by getting rid of Play Movies and TV and movie it all over to the Google TV app. I'm just as confused as you are that there is a platform and an app/store that use the same name.

It makes no sense to have both my and my wife's accounts signed into our streaming device, and also have the option to allow both libraries to be accessible. Even if my wife shared her credit with me, I wouldn't be able to get the movie through my account.

It's understandable that we can't see both of our libraries from another service. Our movie and TV libraries are not included when both accounts are signed into a platform. For the sake of privacy and security, all information from accounts shouldn't be automatically merged or made available, but a question or switch to access what users want to see.

While the company continues to update its streaming hardware, platforms, and video streaming services, it might want to look into family sharing options. The Family Sharing library allows for up to six people in your inner circle to have access to specific apps. It should be possible to solve the shared library issue on a device that multiple users signed into.
