Google TV not allowing me to switch users?

by brispower

This seems to be a thing you can do but at the moment all i see is the ability to add child accounts and sign in with other google accounts.

FWIW I am using a brand new TCL TV, everything else seems to work completely fine (better than i expected tbh) just when I add another google account it just appears under accounts but cannot be fully switched to, I'd like to do this for fairly obvious reasons and from what I'm reading this was added a few months ago as a back end google feature and not particularly client dependant however I have seen mention that TCL sets have support for the feature.

TV is fully up to date as well and I signed in with the Google Home app on first setup. I really don't want to mixup the google accounts just want a fully separate login. It's the one thing keeping the experience from being a 10/10.

Region is Australia.

The ability to switch between users is an update that your TV is going to receive on its own from a Google server, all you have to do is to sit and wait, once it is applied automatically you will see a welcome screen, after that you will be able to switch between users.

Did you try rebooting the TV?

I also have a TCL TV. One day the profile switch simply appears. Try to check for updates in the settings and in the Play Store too, just in case.

So I decided to force a restart from in settings a couple times and suddenly it's working. Thanks all for your suggestions and help.
