You can once more access films bought from Google Play and YouTube through Movies Anywhere.
You will need to reconnect your Google account to regain access.
The recent issues between Disney and Google affected more than just YouTube TV subscribers losing access to all Disney channels. Disney also removed its entire film catalog from Google TV and YouTube and ceased support for Google within its movie syncing service, Movies Anywhere.
Although the two companies resolved their dispute by November 14 and restored all Disney channels on YouTube TV, Disney only re-listed its movies on Google’s digital platforms at the end of last month. Nearly a month later, users can finally connect their Google accounts to Movies Anywhere to access films purchased from Google Play and YouTube.
According to 9to5Google, impacted users have begun receiving emails announcing this update, which includes an option to reconnect Google Play and YouTube to Movies Anywhere. Users can click the link in the email to reconnect their account and regain access.
To reconnect your Google account to Movies Anywhere
If you have not yet received the email, you can manually reconnect your Google account via Movies Anywhere’s settings. To do this, open the drop-down menu in the top-right corner, click on Settings, and then select Manage Retailers from the sidebar.
Click the Connect button next to Google’s listing and follow the on-screen instructions to reconnect your account. After completing this, you should once again have access to movies purchased from Google Play and YouTube within Movies Anywhere.
With Google reinstated as a partner for Movies Anywhere, users who were caught in the middle of the Disney-Google conflict can now find relief. This update effectively resolves one of the last remaining issues stemming from the dispute and restores normal operations.
