YouTube returns to Fire TV, Amazon Prime video back on Chromecast, Android TV

Firstpost  

As their businesses continue to overlap, the rivalry between Amazon and Google grew, and the two companies started to pull their own services from each other’s platforms, ensuring the other couldn’t yield any benefits from their own services. Because of that reason, for the longest time, Amazon Fire TV did not support Google-owned YouTube app, and Amazon Prime Video was not available of Chromecast and on Android TV. However, as announced in April this year, Google and Amazon have eased the rivalry, and YouTube app has now arrived on Fire TV and Prime Video is back to Chromecast and Android TV. By end of this week, Amazon’s second-generation Fire TV Stick, their Fire TV Stick 4K, the Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick Basic Edition and Fire TV Edition smart TVs will all get support for the official YouTube app. Parallely, both of Google’s Chromecast devices, as well as partner TVs and hardware that support Chromecast built-in, or that run Android TV, will now support for Prime Video.
