france.tv (previously pluzz and later Francetv pluzz then Francetv pluzzVAD) serves as both a French over-the-top, streaming service operated by public broadcaster France Télévisions incorporating the video-on-demand service of that public broadcaster and the identifier for all French domestic public television channels.

The france.tv service also allows users to watch, in particular, all the channels of the France Télévisions group live: France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5, France Info and La Première. The service also allowed user to stream the channel France Ô in the past, but not any more due to the channel no longer being in operation.

The service in place today was originally two separate services that launched independently before the two were merged into one. The first service was launched on 5 July 2010, under the title pluzz, this streaming platform allowed users to watch or rewatch programs from the various channels of the public television group up to one week after their broadcast date, the service was later renamed Francetv pluzz in April 2012. Separately launched in May 2012, under the name Francetv pluzzVAD, was the second service that delivered all of France Télévision's programs via video streaming and download. On 9 May 2017, the two video-on-demand services and the 300 websites of the group's channels were merged and replaced by the single platform france.tv.
