Google is once again part of Movies Anywhere, meaning that movies you’ve purchased from Google Play and YouTube will now show up as part of your Movies Anywhere collection. Films from Google Play and YouTube became unavailable on Movies Anywhere on October 31st, but now they should sync to your account again.
“Support for Google as a digital retailer has been re-enabled,” Movies Anywhere says in a support page. “Reconnect your Google account and your movie purchases from Google will be added to your collection as usual. It only takes a minute!”
You may have received an email from Movies Anywhere about Google coming back, too — thanks to the reader who passed along theirs — and that email has a big button to reconnect your Google account. Google Play and YouTube are also listed on a page detailing retailers currently participating in Movies Anywhere.
Google and Disney, which operates Movies Anywhere, didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
