The TV has become the "primary device" for watching YouTube in the US. People spend more time watching YouTube on their TVs than on their phones. In the platform's annual report, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan announced that viewers watch more than 1 billion hours of YouTube content daily on their TVs.
Over the past two years, YouTube has maintained its position as the most popular streaming service in the US. The company made significant changes to the TV app, making the platform look like a full-fledged streaming service.
Last year, YouTube changed the design of its TV app, allowing users to view comments and video descriptions on the right side of the screen while the video plays on the left. "Seasons" were also added, making it easier to watch video series using the remote control, as well as the "Watch Together" feature, which allows creators to add comments to games and events in real time.
Meanwhile, YouTube TV has more than 8 million subscribers, and the number of YouTube Premium and YouTube Music subscribers has exceeded 100 million. The company will continue to improve user-favorite features of YouTube TV, such as Key Plays and multi-view, and provide new benefits to YouTube Premium subscribers.
