The Google Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max are two of the most useful smart displays on the market. However, until now the devices had one major flaw that held them back… you couldn't watch Netflix on them.
Fortunately, everything is changing. In a post on The Keyword, Google announced that Netflix is finally rolling out support for its popular streaming service to Google's line of smart displays. Since Google's smart displays have supported rivals Hulu and Disney+ for quite some time, it makes sense that Netflix is also available on them.
It's actually quite easy to get Netflix working on your Google Nest Hub or Nest Hub Max. All you need to do is link your Google Home or Assistant app to your Netflix account. Once the two are connected, you need to tell your smart display what to play as you would with any other Google Nest command.
To learn more, see our list of Google Home commands.
For example, you can say "Ok Google, open Netflix" to browse the service. If you want to watch something, you can say "OK Google, watch Queer Eye". From there, the smart display will load and play the show or movie you requested.
Everything you can watch on Netflix on a smart TV is available on Nest smart displays. Between Netflix and the streaming services that already supported the Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max, you have a ton of options to choose from.
AdvertisementGoogle's smart displays aren't the only devices on the market with Google Assistant. Lenovo is producing a line of Google Assistant-powered smart displays, but it's unclear if those devices will also get Netflix.
If you're already subscribed to the streaming service, you should take the time to watch the best romantic comedies on Netflix. After all, we all need a little love in our lives.
