Google tests a new interface on YouTube for Android TV

YouTube is one of the most popular applications among Android users in Spain. It is an application whose design changes little, although we are currently working on a design change in the Android application. The Android TV version of the popular video application is also going to get a design change.

In this case, it will not be a design change on the application’s home screen. It will be on the video playback screen where YouTube for Android TV is going to introduce a design change. Thanks to it, you will have faster access to functions on that screen.
