Films from YouTube and Google Play: What Happened?
Films from YouTube and Google Play are no longer available on Movies Anywhere as of October 31, 2025. If you logged in recently and noticed missing movies, especially titles purchased through Google platforms, you’re not alone. The change means new Google Play and YouTube purchases no longer sync to the Movies Anywhere library, though previously synced titles may still appear. Many users are now wondering why this happened, what it means for their digital libraries, and what options they have next.
Why Are Films from YouTube and Google Play Gone?
Movies Anywhere confirmed that “Google Play/YouTube will no longer participate in the Movies Anywhere program,” but did not provide further explanation. Neither Google nor Disney (which owns Movies Anywhere) has issued details on the split. While older synced movies remain available for now, new purchases cannot be added — a hit to users who relied on one unified place to view their collections.
Will Films from YouTube and Google Play Return?
There’s no official indication that this partnership will resume. The announcement quietly appeared on the Movies Anywhere support page without mention of future plans. With no active statement from Google or Disney, the removal seems permanent — at least for the foreseeable future.
What Should Users Do Now?
If you purchased films from YouTube and Google Play, you can still stream them directly on those platforms. For users who prefer centralized libraries, this may be inconvenient. Consider downloading content where supported or organizing libraries across platforms as the digital movie landscape continues to shift.
