YouTube has gotten some major updates lately, but the video-streaming site and Google staple just made one of its tiniest tweaks yet – and it might have big implications for your viewing habits. For those who use YouTube with their television sets, or have at least heard about the option to do so, you may have noticed a couple of changes in recent days: a new sound and animation that appears when the app starts up, and the option to display comments from other viewers on your TV screen as you watch your favorite videos (or not).
The new startup sound
YouTube for TV has been updated with a new startup sound. If you’ve used the app on your big screen television set, you may have noticed two changes in recent days: when the app starts up, a new sound and animation appear, as well as the option to display comments.
For many YouTube for TV users, these are welcome changes that help make the YouTube experience more like it is on other devices.
The startup sound is admittedly kind of cheesy but we suppose that’s what happens when you’re competing with your own YouTube jingle.
Still, it’s not as annoying as most TV startup sounds so there’s something to be said for that at least.
On top of this change, YouTube is also testing out the ability to show comments while videos are playing.
Just tap the comment button while watching a video and voila! There they are, ready for you to read or reply!
It remains unclear if YouTube will actually implement this feature or whether it was just an experiment that someone forgot about; nevertheless, it can’t hurt for YouTube for TV users to let their voices be heard by voicing their thoughts about how they use the app via email or social media channels.
YouTube claims to value feedback from its community, after all.
Please share your thoughts in the comments below. What do you think about YouTube for TV getting a new start up sound? Is showing comments during videos useful? Let us know!
The option to display comments
YouTube for TV has been updated with new startup sound, animations, and the option to display comments.
The new startup sound is said to make it easier for YouTube viewers to know when their videos have started playing on their TV.
YouTube has also made it possible for users to see what other people are saying about their favorite videos.
This is an exciting way to get feedback! YouTube for TV also allows users to type in feedback, which will be shown at the bottom of your screen as you watch your video.
It will be interesting to see how these changes impact YouTube viewership in the future.
Hopefully YouTube is paying attention to all of the feedback they are getting from users because this change could make or break them.
If they continue making improvements like this, YouTube may become even more popular than Netflix! YouTube for TV has been updated with new startup sound, animations, and the option to display comments.

- hopefully YouTube pays attention and continues updating its app accordingly so that it can gain more popularity than Netflix someday!
If YouTube keeps adding features, people will find many reasons to use their application instead of others, making them one of today’s biggest companies.
People are already turning to YouTube as an alternative because they offer content not found on other streaming services like Hulu or Netflix.
This could help YouTube overtake some big competitors in years to come.
It’s important for YouTube to continue improving their app if they want to be considered one of today’s biggest media companies in 2019! So how do you like these new improvements?

How this will change YouTube viewing
YouTube has made a few changes in recent days, including a new sound and animation when the app starts up, as well as the option to display comments on videos.
This is an attempt to make the video-watching experience more immersive on TV screens. But does it work? We put YouTube for TV to the test with some of our favorite clips.
Yes, there’s something nice about being able to watch YouTube videos without being interrupted by commercials.
And yes, having the ability to browse through comments can be helpful if you’re watching something difficult or intense (especially as someone who has dyslexia).
What we really like about this new feature is how it feels like a much fuller viewing experience on our TVs!
What we don’t like about YouTube for TV:
Unfortunately, if one person wants to watch content from YouTube while another person wants to watch Netflix or HBO Go or any other content from their list of installed apps – then they’re going to have a hard time watching them simultaneously.
That’s not all: YouTube for TV is kind of buggy. It often crashes unexpectedly and sometimes doesn’t play well with WiFi connections.
In addition, YouTube for TV lacks many features available in the mobile app version such as suggested videos, channels, trending topics and search options.
All things considered, YouTube for TV might be worth checking out… but only if you’ve got some patience and a strong WiFi connection.
One final note on YouTube for TV: let’s say that in just a few months, your favorite YouTuber gets back together with his ex-girlfriend.
If you wanted to watch every part of it unfold (as most fans do), then before YouTube had its new feature, if you were reading comments on YouTube during those key moments – there was no way to quickly jump back into that section without losing your place on YouTube (and possibly missing out).
With YouTube for TV now giving viewers the option to see what people are saying about it, he’s got no excuse! Now he can instantly see how much people loved seeing him get back together with her!
