Google redesigns YouTube TV app

Google has redesigned the YouTube app that runs on televisions, consoles and set-top boxes. Among other things, the application should make it easier to open video content on channels. The updated app will be the first to be released on the Xbox One.

The new design ensures that the YouTube TV app looks more like the regular website. The app offers a ‘what to watch’ section that shows the channels a user has subscribed to. Any playlists should also be easier to find, while recommendations should also be presented to the TV viewer in a better way, according to Google.

Google will first make the renewed YouTube TV app available on the Xbox One. The internet giant promises that the update will also be available on other devices in the coming weeks, such as on smart TVs and set-top boxes.
