Google TV dongle owners report multiple profile usage

Owners of the Google Chromecast with Google TV report that it is now possible to use multiple user profiles. Google had previously announced the arrival of this feature, but it seems to be only now actually available.

Among other 9to5Google reports about the option to now be able to use multiple accounts in Google TV. After adding multiple accounts, it is possible to customize the interface with separate watch lists and make recommendations based on the user’s preferences.

For now, this option only seems to be available to owners of the Google Chromecast with Google TV, the cast dongle with its own remote control that came out in 2020. The use of multiple profiles in Google TV should also become more widely available, for example for users with televisions running on Google TV.

The arrival of personalized profiles to Google TV was already announced last year, but their introduction was gradually postponed. Google announced the arrival of the use of multiple profiles officially on in May this year.
