Regional restrictions

ILIA132 — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 08:53:29 GMT

The interface of my Google Chromecast with Google TV is different than it is in the US or Western Europe. It looks like that

In America and Germany for example the interface looks like that

This is definitely the fault of regional restrictions. I live in Georgia. The fact is that this country has regional restrictions. I wonder if there are any plans to lift regional restrictions in the near future to have full access.

Voice Search Assistant does not search for content in an existing application. Searching only on YouTube. Are there any plans to address this issue in the near future?

Hi ILIA132,

This is a community forum supported by other users and community specialists and we don't know what plans Google has for the future, sorry.

Currently if you import a device to a country that it isn't sold officially from the online Google store then it is not guaranteed to work as it would in an officially supported country.

Device and services country availability:

hi Cathal,

Thanks for the feedback. I know that. Google support told me that the emails here are read by Google developers and posted if you are interested in anything. So I am writing here maybe some developer will respond to me

Regards,

ILIA

Developers from Google don't read these forums -- as previously mentioned there is no support for an item used in a non-supported region.
