When you watch YouTube on your TV, you’re less likely to look at the comments. It might be because pulling up the comments blocks half of the video you’re watching. You’ll be able to interact with videos without getting in the way of your viewing experience with YouTube’s new design.
YouTube is now rolling out changes to make the app better for watching on TV. With the new design, you can make the video smaller so you can see other things like the description and comments on the side of the screen.
This will help YouTube TV too. Subscribers will be able to shrink the video to see live scores and highlights without blocking the game. YouTube says it aims to provide a “richer, distraction-free TV experience” that’s not as passive.
Interactions have also been simplified for remote controls. Over the next few weeks, the update will roll out to more users. YouTube wants watching videos on the big screen to be easier without disrupting what you’re watching.
Whether it’s regular YouTube or YouTube TV, the new design lets you keep an eye on extra information without it getting in the way. YouTube is making adjustments to make the TV viewing experience more engaging.
