Google's massive video site tweaks its app for televisions to make it quicker to get to your subscribed channels and recommendations, rolling out the update to Xbox One first.
YouTube -- home to about 2.89 million makeover videos -- just gave its TV look a makeover of its own.
Google's massive video site updated its TV app Thursday, simplifying the steps for a viewer to get to the most relevant videos -- subscribed and recommended ones -- and bringing the TV interface in line with how YouTube's layout looks on a computer, smartphone, or tablet.
YouTube, for all its makeover and cat videos, is sometimes easy to forget as one of the most powerful media platforms on the planet. It is the leading source of Internet traffic in the world, according to researcher Sandvine, and attracts more than a billion unique visitors a month, watching more than 6 billion hours of video.
With the app update, subscribed channels and recommendations will appear in a 'What to Watch' section on a guide on the left side of the TV screen. The update also adds channel pages that populate with new playlists from YouTube creators.
Still missing, however: a simple way to subscribe to a channel from the TV.
The update starts with Xbox One and will roll to other streaming devices in the following weeks, according to a blog post from the company.
