HE YouTube It was announced on his blog on Wednesday. New feature to allow direct connection between television and mobile phone (Android or iOS). Dubbed “YouTube for the living room,” the functionality is the platform’s product director, Neal Mohan, and Eliminates the need to use remote controls and web browsers on TVs.
Based on the tendency for more than 80% of people to watch television with their cell phone in hand, researchers at the video sharing network noticed that users were also opening YouTube in the cell phone app. However, they watch videos on the big screen and do other actions (likes, channel subscriptions) on the small screen.
Instead of trying to bring all the interaction action buttons to the big screen, engineers reversed this action and decided to work on and integrate mobile phones as part of the experience of watching videos on a connected TV.
How do I connect my mobile phone to the TV?
To connect your mobile phone to the TV, just log into the same YouTube account on both devices. Then open the YouTube app on your mobile device and click “connect” in the box that pops up automatically. From there the phone and TV will be synced. In this way, it will be possible to interact with the video shown on the television directly from the mobile phone.
With the new feature, it will be easier to read video descriptions, write comments, share with friends or enjoy your favorite channels on mobile devices while the video is viewed normally on TV. Thus, the TV screen becomes an extension of the mobile phone screen, and the mobile phone directly controls all operations.
