Way back in December of 2017, Google pulled YouTube off of the Fire TV citing a “lack of reciprocity” by Amazon. Amazon would not carry Chromecast and Google Home products on their store, Prime Video did not support Chromecast, and new Nest devices were being pulled. Consumers were the ones to suffer the most because of these companies’ disagreements. However, Amazon essentially announced yesterday that they and Google are officially friends now. Hooray!
The official YouTube app will be available on Fire TV in the coming months, and standalone YouTube TV and YouTube Kids apps will launch later this year.
Prime Video will also come to Chromecast and Android TV devices in the coming months.
No mention was made about selling Google hardware on Amazon’s store, but it’s nice to see the two companies finally cooperating and being consumer-friendly once again.
