YouTube tests redesign that brings Home feed to the video page

After a big redesign last year, YouTube might be embarking on its next visual revamp with changes to the video page, which has mostly stayed the same in recent years. Currently, on the web, you have a video window with the title and other details/descriptions appearing below it. In the redesign that a handful of people are seeing over the past few weeks, that information appears to the right of the video and is much narrower. Buttons for un/like, sharing, etc. also appear underneath, while you get five or so recent comments too. This makes for a very mobile-like interface. As such, Up Next videos and other recommendations no longer appear on the right edge of the screen. Rather, they [...]

Currently, you’ll be able to select your desired viewing experience from the “Top Picks for you” carousel. But it’s important to note that during this preview, YouTube [...]

YouTube veut lancer des “chaînes TV” gratuites YouTube teste un nouveau hub donnant accès à des chaînes TV gratuites. YouTube est une plateforme particulière. En tant que réseau social, celui-ci est en concurrence avec les plateformes telles que TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, ou encore Snapchat. Mais en même temps, puisqu’il s’agit d’une plateforme de streaming vidéo, elle est également en concurrence avec les géants de la VOD, comme Netflix ou Disney+. D’ailleurs, ces dernières années, YouTube n’a cessé d’étendre le type de contenu proposé, afin de rivaliser avec les autres plateformes de streaming, ou même la télévision.
