There are obviously ways to bypass YouTube’s new restriction, but although we’re sure that none of our readers would ever do such a thing, it’s clear that some users won’t hesitate to use them.

As for YouTube TV, it is, first of all, that special “something” that you need to use on your smart TV if you want to enjoy what YouTube has to offer. YouTube TV will allow you to enjoy live broadcasts of various shows. The service won’t hesitate to reveal to you the news or various sports events. But as you’ve probably already guessed, there are a few preparations you need to make to benefit from what YouTubeTV has to offer. But don’t worry, as anybody can do it!

YouTube TV not working: how to fix the problem

From time to time, YouTube TV may start to malfunction. This is somewhat normal, as nothing lasts forever in life, and that simple principle also applies when it comes to technology.

There are a few simple troubleshooting steps that you can take to try to get rid of the problem. Here are some of the common ones:

  • Update the YouTube TV app: a lot of apps out there can have functionality issues if you don’t get the latest update. Make sure YouTube TV runs on the latest version available!
  • Clear Cache and Data on mobile devices: if you’re using YouTube TV on an Android phone or iPhone, clearing the cache and data could make the app run well again.
  • Disable your VPN: Sure, VPNs are useful, but they can sometimes ruin your experience with YouTube TV.
  • Check for service outages: Check the official YouTube TV status page or its social media accounts to see if there is any announcement of service outages. If there is any, it means you just have to wait for the problem to pass away, as it’s not your fault.

Ultimately, if none of the above methods solve your problem with YouTube TV, you can contact the YouTube TV support team to explain your problem. It’s in their best interest to help you out, so don’t be shy!

YouTube Originals To Soon Become Free For non-YouTube Premium Users

If you are a non-YouTube Premium user, do not worry because YouTube will offer you access to the so-called YooTube Originals version of its Cobra Kai series for free, but with ads. YouTube continues to focus more on unscripted content and shifts away from scripted YouTube Originals, their priority being learning and personality-driven content.

As Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu are preparing for the launch of Dinsey+ which will take place in November, the crowd in the original content market gets bigger and more expensive these days. With that being said, YouTube does not want to deal with any additional problems of managing user-uploaded content, purchased content, and trying to get YouTube Music into shape.

As Bloomberg hinted at YouTube Originals going free with ads, this news does not come as a surprise in the wake of YouTube canceling much of its original content back in March. A confirmation has been given by YouTube that its annual Brandcast event will take place and that Originals content will no longer require a fee, but it will include ads if free users want to access it.

YouTube Originals to become free, but with ads

With that being said, you should not misunderstand this. YouTube Originals are not entirely dead and will not be because, for example, the renewal of Cobra Kai for a third season has been announced by YouTube at Brandcast.

In addition to that, as mentioned before, YouTube decided to shift its focus into personality-driven and topic-driven unscripted content for things like science, beauty, cooking, music, and art, YouTube continuing even more on the musical side of the business. They would instead become a competitor for Spotify with YouTube Music than have a YouTube Premium Add-on.

The good news is that if you were suffering from not being able to access YouTube Originals because of that few, wipe your tears because you will be able to see all that content for free.

Fortnite and YouTube Scares Netflix More Than The Upcoming Disney+

Netflix came out to reply to the many people thinking that the most popular streaming platform in the world would lose subscribers when Disney+ comes out. Netflix thinks Fortnite and YouTube are greater competitors than the upcoming Disney+, HBO, or Amazon, according to a recent shareholder letter the company released.

So, according to Netflix, the streaming platform’s representatives are more concerned with Fortnite and YouTube than with the forthcoming Disney+ streaming platform, HBO, or Amazon. According to the company, Netflix has already earned 10 percent of all US television screen time, while “Bird Box” totaled 80 million viewers in its first month. The streaming platform expects that “You” would sum up to 40 million viewers over the same period.

Thus, Netflix wants to ensure people that the emergence of new streaming platforms such as Disney+ will not make subscribers ditch Netflix. On the other hand, Netflix is more concerned with the growth of Fortnite and YouTube.

Fortnite and YouTube Scares Netflix More Than The Upcoming Disney+, HBO, or Amazon

“Our focus is not on Disney+, Amazon or others, but on how we can improve our experience for others. We compete with (and lose to) Fortnite more than HBO. When YouTube went down globally for a few minutes in October, our viewing and signups spiked for that time,” said Netflix in its shareholder letter.

“We compete so broadly with all of these providers, that any one provider entering only makes a difference on the margin,” said Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix.

While the YouTube presence on the list of Netflix’s competitors is not surprising, the thing that Netflix mentioned Fortnite might be confusing. In reality, it shouldn’t be so, as Netflix aims to compete with all kind of entertainment out there and go live on as many devices as they exist out there, including gaming consoles.

YouTube To Add Automatic Playback On Homepage On Both Android and iOS Versions

Google updated its YouTube app, once again, and added a new feature that allows users of the mobile version of YouTube automatically playback videos directly from the app’s homepage. The function is available for both Android and iOS. Of course, anyone can deactivate it even though it’s by default activated. If users prefer, the new function can be set to only work when on a WiFi network.

YouTube To Add Automatic Playback On Homepage On Both Android and iOS Versions

In the world of video streaming services, Google’s YouTube is the most popular and appreciated one, especially on Android and iOS mobile operating systems, primarily because it is a free app boasting a huge video content.

“Coming to Android & iOS over the next few weeks… Autoplay on Home! Preview a video while you scroll or watch the whole thing on mute with captions. To turn on/off or customize to play only on WiFi, go to Settings -> Autoplay -> Autoplay on Home,” YouTube team wrote on its official Twitter page.

The Upcoming YouTube App Feature To Benefit Content Creators, As Well As Users

As expected by Google, the new function in YouTube Android and iOS versions, when activated, should beneficial for mobile users. On the other hand, the best thing of this feature would be to benefit content creators who could raise additional income and more subscribers and viewers from the automatic playback function which would run silently but with captions whenever a user hovers over a video on YouTube homepage.

A video made by YouTube director David Sharon explains how that new function will work. According to him, the automatic playback on YouTube homepage would not consume mobile data and would allow users to configure it in different ways, depending on their desires.

This feature has already been available in the YouTube Premium version, but now it would roll out on the standard YouTube versions for both Android and iOS.
