Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Media Actions feeds let you describe your media content to Google. This enables
users to discover your content on Google Search and the Google Assistant and
initiate playback of the content directly on your app or platform.
Figure 1. Media Actions on the Google Assistant.
Media Actions are powered by a feed, which contains
the details of your media catalog. A feed is a JSON object that contains a
collection of entities. An entity is a schema.org object that represents an item in your
catalog: a TV episode, a TV series, a movie, a song, an album, and more.
For Google to obtain your feed, you need to store the feed in a file and host
the file in a location where Google can access it. To
ensure your content is up-to-date, Google regularly fetches the feed file from
your host.
