YouTube TV has redesigned the Live Guide feature for Android and IOS users. Bringing more interactive designs and more information while previewing on mobile devices. Previously, it was a simple list of previews; now, YouTube TV’s live guide has been redesigned with a cleaner, more functional layout.
What is YouTube TV Live Guide?
The layout has a simple list and a limited preview; the redesigned version has more functionality and an easier UI.
The features in YouTube TV Live Guide are:
- The channel Icon appears to the left for easier lookout
- The upcoming program can be swiped through the guide
- Jump to live feature lets users return to the ongoing broadcast
- Other program details, such as runtime and remaining time, are also shown.
- Long-press previews allow users to see descriptions, add to their library, set reminders, and go directly to the program or channel.
Additionally, the floating sheet interface is now seen in the app; the older layouts were more of a docked design. The layout change makes the interactions smoother. The users who are not seeing the layout need to update to the latest version. Apart from the live guide, other sections, such as Library and Home, are the same. However, they are also updating the YouTube library and home page to match the latest change and better organize the platform.
Conclusion
The app’s live guide redesign made the experience easier to use and navigate on mobile. The intuitive design, previews, and ongoing live details enhance the overall streaming experience for the users. The features are now available to Android and iOS users, targeting the largest possible audience.
