Watching YouTube videos is something many of us love to do, whether it’s on our phone, iPad, computer, or TV. But let’s be honest, dealing with comments on the TV hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Luckily, Google is coming to the rescue with an update for the YouTube TV app that aims to fix this issue.
Previously, when you watched a video on TV, the comments and other info would pop up right on top of the video, kind of blocking it. But with the new update, things are changing. The video will shift a bit to the left, making space for the comments section on the right.
YouTube TV execs Joe Hines and Aishwarya Agarwal explained that this update keeps the video front and center while also giving easy access to features like comments, without disrupting your viewing experience.
Yes, the video might look a tad smaller with this change, but it shouldn’t get in the way of enjoying your content. And let’s face it, if you’re interested in checking out comments and likes, you’re probably okay with the video taking a bit of a backseat for a moment.
Watching YouTube on TV is super popular these days, giving you a bigger screen to enjoy your favorite videos. In fact, TV users are watching around one billion hours of YouTube content every day. So, this update is likely to make things even better for those who like to dive into the comments section.
According to technology expert Andrew Tropeano, with smart TVs becoming more common, it was only a matter of time before we wanted the same experience on our big screens as we get on our phones. So, making the TV app more like the mobile app just makes sense.
If you’re excited about these changes, don’t worry, the update will be available to all users over the next few weeks. So, get ready to enjoy YouTube on your TV even more!
