YouTube is updating its TV experience with a new interface

Watching YouTube on TV is a quite different experience as compared to a mobile device. Most commonly users avoid looking at the Comments section while watching YouTube on TV since the comments section block half of the view of the video. In an effort to address this issue, the company is bringing a new design. With the new design that YouTube is rolling out, engaging with videos won’t interfere with your watching experience.

The company announced in a blog post that a new interface for YouTube TV app will be rolled out in the next few weeks. The new interface will enable users to decrease the size of the video player. In this way, users will have a convenient look at the information like the video description, products, comments, and others on the side of the screen.

The business claims that the goal is to deliver a less passive but nonetheless “richer, distraction-free TV experience.” Information can now be displayed on the screen without interfering with the content you are viewing thanks to the new design. In addition to this, the company has introduced a few changes to accommodate the remote control. Reportedly, the interactions have been simplified for the remote control.

According to reports, it appears like similar functionality will be introduced to the YouTube TV as well. Views, a filter that displays in-the-moment team and individual statistics, league scores, and key plays, will be visible to subscribers when the video is shrunk down. It is expected that YouTube TV will gain this feature in the next upcoming days.
