Summary
YouTube is launching new features for its app for TVs and console gamers, including additional Shorts and varied shelves.
Features include the “Continue your search” shelf, showing the user’s top three previous searches, and the “Listen again” shelf, which offers access to previously listened-to songs.
The “Live performances, remixes, and covers” shelf shows alternative versions of songs, while the “From your top channels” shelf offers the user’s most watched YouTube channels.
A new Podcasts tab will enable quick access to podcasts, and Shorts will be separated from longer videos for ease of access.
Users will also be able to loop all VOD content, rather than just playlists, and improved previews will be available on channel pages, subscription pages and topics pages.
