3. YouTube Leanback + YouTube Remote Android App

Leanback makes watching videos on YouTube as effortless as watching TV. You can even use your Android phone to control the Leanback experience!
Like now a days TV is mostly trying to be like the Internet , catering with filters and giving extra information and now connected to the Internet to provide you with more services and features. Well now you can also see the transformation of one of the most famous online video streaming sites to provide you with the feature of watching the TV on the Internet with all the control over the content on the TV… how cool is that 😀 hehe
So you have the choices like
– DISCOVER CHANNELS

– MY SUBSCRIPTIONS ( channels you ave subscribed to )
– RECOMMENDATIONS ( according to what you normally watch or to the channels subscribed )
– FEATURED

4. YouTube Slam

Well this is a nice feature coz this allows you to have a one-on-one battle between 2 videos side by side … and you have to rate them best on 3 things
– which one’s more funny ( Comedy Slam )
– which one’s cuter (Cute Slam )
– and which one’s more bizzare ( Bizarre Slam )

5. Comment Search

Cool way of providing another way to get more videos like that and explore more 🙂

6. Insights for Audience

You can choose from filters like
