YouTube will return to Amazon Fire TV products. Also, the Amazon Prime Video app will introduce Chromecast support to make it more widely available on Android TV.
Amazon Fire TV YouTube Support Returning Later this Year
The two developments come after a long feud between the companies. The spat between Google and Amazon kept YouTube off all Fire TVs for more than a year.
Details remain sparse, but it is known the changes will take effect sometime later on this year.
The news comes via a joint press release, which in-part reads:
“The official YouTube apps will be available on Fire TV in the coming months, giving users seamless access to a world of entertainment – including music videos, their favorite creators, movies, shows, news, live sports and more.
Prime members streaming to Chromecast and on Android TV devices will have unlimited access, in the coming months, to thousands of titles and Amazon Originals including Golden Globe-winning The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Homecoming, Hanna and The Widow.”
