Google seeks “testers” for new Google TV features – a glimpse into the future.

Google is inviting select users to participate in a testing project for new features on Google TV, offering early access and the chance to receive a gift card in exchange for feedback.

Early access to new features
Potential to receive a $50 gift card
Involvement in the development process

Google is working on some exciting new features for Google TV, and it looks like they want users to have the opportunity to test them out before everyone else. The company is rolling out a new update for Google TV that will select a group of users to participate in a testing project. The goal is to provide these users with early access to new features so they can test them out and report any issues before they are made available to all Google TV users.

Right now, the selection process for these tests is random, although it seems that most of the chosen users are located in the US. Some of the active tests include an AI-powered program guide summary and interface improvements to make it easier to use with some cool new effects.

This testing project is called “Google TV Streamer,” and when users are selected, they will see a banner at the top of their Google TV home screen inviting them to participate if they wish. According to the page where users can sign up for the program, participants will not only get early access to new features but also have the chance to receive a $50 gift card for various stores (likely only available in the US).

However, it’s important to note that joining this program may require users to provide additional personal information to Google to assist in the development process. It’s also worth mentioning that some of the features being tested may have bugs or issues since they are still in active development. Google encourages users to report any bugs they encounter to help improve the features before their final release.

Overall, this initiative from Google is a great way to involve users in the development process and ensure that new features are thoroughly tested before being rolled out to the wider Google TV community. So, if you’re a Google TV user and you’re lucky enough to be selected for this testing project, don’t hesitate to give it a try and provide valuable feedback to help shape the future of Google TV.
