Google Account for Android TV

by reluna

Hey guys, I was wondering if I was doing this wrong, so I'd like to ask you, do you use your personal Google accounts in your Android TV boxes? If not, why and what do you do instead?

EDIT: thank you all for your suggestions.

I have a Google account just for my android TV. With wife and 3 year old I don't want their YouTube habits interfereing with mine and vice versa.

I created a special google account for the box and then enabled family sharing so that I can still install games I bought on google play. No way I'm going to expose my YouTube watch history to the living room.

I have seen some people say they created a restricted profile of their account to use.

Yup

Same here

For my Google home and shield / 2 mi boxes are all under one account

My personal account is just for me

Does Android TV already supports multi account tho? Even on Oreo. I think that's already overdue tho

Yes? What would be the point in creating a new account?
