SASCHA PRUETER: [LAUGHS] I see a lot of familiar faces.

But the stage is getting bigger every year.

BENJAMIN BAXTER: I'm Benjamin Baxter, DevRel for Android TV.

SASCHA PRUETER: And thanks for joining the Android TV

session at Google I/O. The session is called What's New,

So last time most of us talked was last year at Google I/O.

And we are, obviously, really happy about that.

And as you can see, we are doubling that, so far,

from a number of devices and device categories.

We have-- maybe you heard at CES earlier this year--

a bunch of new partners in very different smart TV price

that we can't even list all partners on one slide anymore.

with us on Android TV devices and your logo is not here,

and specifically when it comes to pay TV operators,

So we already have, I think, around 30 partners worldwide--

so pay TV operators, cable, satellite, IPTV, shipping boxes

And we have more than 50 additional ones coming.

And that's why I'm really happy that the TV app ecosystem is

And I think this is the fifth time I said significantly,

Having developers here at I/O over the last few years

actually pick up Android TV and build cool media experiences,

games or completely new stuff we didn't think about,

And the thing, because there are a lot of app developers here,

a little bit under the radar, we have also

A lot of you, if you're developing for mobile,

you know direct carrier billing already on mobile.

So if someone buys an app, if someone does an in-app purchase

you can charge it to your mobile bill in a lot of cases,

if you don't have a credit card or you don't

And the same concept has launched also since last Google

And we're working with more and more partners, pay TV operator

partners, that you can do charges from the Play Store

or the Play ecosystem in general to your cable,

And since then, the ecosystem and the services

that the Google Assistant brings to Android TV have--

not only to Android TV, but to devices in general--

So we see a lot of use of the Assistant on TV.

to make use and consumption of media services and apps

a lot easier on TV by just interacting with voice--

discovering content by simply talking to your TV,

having a very natural interface, not having to remember,

it's also about looking up answers to questions
