YouTube For TV

YouTube For TV might be a tad confusing in terms of naming. For one, it is a Windows application, so how does that tie to the TV aspect? Well, this program isn't made for TVs. In fact, it is an attempt to bring the classic YouTube TV app interface to any user's PC. This is especially useful if you are still trying to find Smart TV replacements that take the shape or form of computers connected to a regular TV. Just keep in mind you'll have to run Windows on that PC if you want to enjoy using this app.

Well, there isn't much to explain in terms of functionality. Simply launch the application and the whole screen will be taken over by this extremely accessible YouTube app. It looks more like a video and entertainment hub. So far, the user can connect a mobile device through a series of numbers that form a code that's displayed within the program's interface.

This makes the action of casting your screen a total breeze. Thumbnails are larger, for easy distance viewing, and all buttons and features are aligned at the left of the app's window. The program is an almost exact replica of a Smart TV YouTube app.

Now, there are plenty of reasons to choose this interface over the classic online YouTube one. The first and most important is accessibility. All features are very easy to access. This means you'll spend less time searching, and more moments enjoying the content you'd otherwise have to search for. You can easily view content from across the room, navigate through it, or allow music to play in the background on a computer connected to the TV. The interface makes the program seem like it is itself some type of entertainment-centered OS.

YouTube for TV is great for individuals who'd still rather use a computer connected to their normal TV rather than purchase a Smart TV in the first place. It is apps like these that bring the Smart TV experience to all users, regardless of whether they use a TV or simply make it easier to access content on a laptop or desktop screen.
