News & Reviews:   YouTube

YouTube might have silently released a new feature that most of us would low-key appreciate. According to 9to5Google, users can now seamlessly transferring the videos they watched on their mobile devices to the desktop without going in history or even "Watch Later".

For those who didn't know, Google's Wear OS 3.0 brought cool features to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. One of them is offline music, which was eventually added to Wear OS 2.0 devices. Spotify got this update last month, and now YouTube Music has the same update.

After the removal of both Groovy and Rythm bot, it seems that Discord is currently working on a new feature called Watch Together, which lets users watch YouTube videos together. With that being said, the new Watch Together feature might be a little more resource intensive because the feature will play both audio and video.

Watching videos online has become a favourite pastime for many Internet dwellers. Sometimes some people download the videos, which is possible using (sometimes sketchy) third-party extensions or sites. But what if you could do it straight from YouTube?

Malaysian content creators prefer to operate on Facebook or Tiktok. This is because both platforms have a larger user base here, which is great for attracting advertisers. YouTube isn't as appealing because it's not as easy to monetise, or is it?

For content creators on YouTube, the thing they always have to consider is how to grow their channel. Experienced creators will know what to do, but what about aspiring creators or relatively new ones? Well, YouTube wants to make things easier for these people too.

You've probably been annoyed by not one but two YouTube ads sometimes if you never subscribed to YouTube Premium. By taking one step further to persuade you to whip out your wallet, the platform might be planning to roll out a cheaper plan for those who only want to get rid of the ads.

If you are part of the BTS Army and love dancing, you now have a chance to "dance" with BTS on YouTube. This Permission to Dance Challenge will be held exclusively on YouTube Shorts starting this Friday, 23 July until 14 August 2021. 

If you watch a lot of YouTube, you may have noticed some of its new features. These were previously in a kind of soft launch, so not everyone could access them. But TeamYouTube has officially launched three of its new features.

Remember YouTube Shorts? YouTube has gradually rolled out its version of short-video format to many countries this year, so you've probably seen some Shorts on the platform. But for Malaysians who want to create these shorts yourselves, now you can!
