Google plans to stop Amazon's Fire TV streaming devices being able to use YouTube from the start of 2018.<\/p>\n

The search giant has also blocked a workaround that Amazon introduced to restore YouTube access to a screen-based version of its smart speaker.<\/p>\n

Experts say the steps mark an escalation of a business row in which consumers have been caught up in the fallout.<\/p>\n

Amazon had previously stopped selling several of Google's hardware products.<\/p>\n

It removed the latest Nest-branded smart home kit \u2013 including a home security system and a new version of its thermostat \u2013 from its online stores last month.<\/p>\n

And since 2015, Amazon has refused to sell Google's Chromecast video and audio-streaming dongles.<\/p>\n

The latest development coincides with the release of Amazon's Prime Video app for the Apple TV. <\/p>\n

Its absence had previously put Apple's set-top box at a disadvantage to Amazon's Fire TV line-up.<\/p>\n

'Lack of reciprocity'<\/h2>\n

Fire TV owners have reported that trying to watch YouTube clips now prompts an alert warning them that they will lose the functionality on 1 January.<\/p>\n

"We've been trying to reach agreement with Amazon to give consumers access to each other's products and services," Google said in a statement.<\/p>\n

"But Amazon doesn't carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn't make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest's latest products. <\/p>\n

"Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and FireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon."<\/p>\n

Google had stopped Amazon's Echo Show speakers being able to play YouTube videos in September, on the basis that the retailer had altered the way the software worked.<\/p>\n

The version Amazon presented had lacked next video recommendations, subscriptions and other features \u2013 but these were restored in November, when Amazon made the device present a more normal view of YouTube.<\/p>\n

But, according to Techcrunch<\/a>, the search firm believes its rights have still been violated because Amazon continues to overlay its own voice controls.<\/p>\n

Amazon has responded, saying: "Echo Show and Fire TV now display a standard web view of YouTube.com and point customers directly to YouTube's existing website. Google is setting a disappointing precedent by selectively blocking customer access to an open website. We hope to resolve this with Google as soon as possible."<\/p>\n

The dispute disadvantages consumers in two ways. Users will be unable to access a service that Amazon's devices had promised to deliver. And Amazon's refusal to even allow third-parties to sell certain Google products via its site makes it harder to find them at their lowest price.<\/p>\n

"It's a surprising turn of events in both respects," commented Ben Wood from the CCS Insight tech consultancy.<\/p>\n

"YouTube is all about maximising the number of people who see its content, and Amazon wants to be the so-called 'everything store'.<\/p>\n

"It's all very unfortunate for consumers, who will have little understanding of the commercial tensions between the two companies.<\/p>\n

"I wonder whether the next step might be the intervention of a regulator to investigate whether they are behaving anti-competitively."<\/p>\n
