YouTube is jazzing up its TV app with a fresh sidebar design that makes accessing your favorite content a breeze. This new look is all about making it easier to jump into your library and catch up on recently-watched channels.
Some users have already caught a glimpse of this update on their Google TVs and Samsung TVs. The new sidebar still puts Search and Home at the top, but now Subscriptions and Library are right below them, making them much quicker to find. Plus, there are two handy shortcuts for channels, though it’s still a mystery whether these are your most-watched or just recommendations.
For those who enjoy a bit of variety, shortcuts for News, Live, Podcasts, Music, Gaming, and Sports are also part of the new layout, but these might vary depending on your TV. This tweak seems to be a server-side change, so if you haven’t seen it yet, hang tight.
