Without a question, watching YouTube on TV is entertaining since you get to consume content on a large screen, but it does have some drawbacks. You can't like, subscribe to, or share a video via the YouTube TV app, for example. This is due to the inability to use and navigate the remote controls. In addition, most TVs lack a built-in web browser that would enable these functionalities. To address this problem, Google is releasing a new tool that allows you to link your TV to your smartphone for improved usage.
According to a post on the YouTube Blog, Google is unveiling a new feature that will allow users to link the YouTube TV app to their iOS or Android phone and quickly explore and interact with videos. To put it another way, you can now use your phone as a second screen for your TV's YouTube.
To utilise this function, you must sign in with the same YouTube account on your phone and TV. If you're logged in, open the YouTube app on your TV, then go to your phone's YouTube app and tap "Connect" on the popup that appears.
You may use your phone's keypad to search for videos to watch on your TV, or you can use your phone to leave a remark on a video you're watching on TV, or check the description of a movie you're watching on TV.
This new tool is comparable to the Casting feature, which you may have used to cast a video from your phone to your television. Google is now just providing the same usability for videos as the YouTube app on your TV. This functionality will begin to go out today, but it may take some time to reach your smartphone or television.
