YouTube Turns 20: Big Fresh Faces on TV
Yo, YouTube lovers! The platform’s 20‑year birthday just dropped a shiny new update for YouTube TV. Think of it like a makeover montage, but for your remote.
What’s new?
- Multiview screens – You can now watch two or three non‑sports videos at once. Forget “pick your music playlist” jumbled with live matches.
- First‑day options – The rollout starts with a handful of layouts, with even more to drop in the coming months. You’ll pick the format that fits your binge‑style.
- App redesign – Your TV app gets a comprehensive facelift: sharper visuals, smoother playback, snappier navigation, and better‑organized access to subscription buttons, channel pages, and comment sections.
Why the hype?
Twenty years of viral videos, memes, and endless tutorials? That’s a lot of content. The new interface aims to make finding and enjoying that content feel like a breeze, not a maze.
Get ready to view, unwind, and maybe even find your next obsession.
Big TV Refresh Coming to YouTube
It looks like YouTube’s TV experience is about to get a makeover that’ll feel as familiar as Netflix’s “Browse” section. The new layout will feature those slick, scroll‑through rows of content, giving users a fluid way to scroll through channels, movies, and shows.
Summer Launch
So, if you’ve been fretting over the TV layout, fear not – the redesign is set to hit the screen sometime in the summer months, and it’s going to be a smooth ride.
20‑Year Anniversary Touches
To celebrate YouTube’s 20th birthday, the company’s adding a few fun, temporary tweaks:
- A playful birthday animation that pops up as you browse.
- A temporary ‘happy 20th’ logo that appears on the interface.
- And for premium users, a 4x play speed option that lets you rush through ads and rewind fast for those perfect moments.
All these changes aim to keep the channel feeling fresh without losing the essential YouTube vibe.
