Google has rolled out a minor yet useful update for all its YouTube and Chromecast users to let them queue videos from Web to TV.
Google, the world's largest internet search giant, is continuing to beef up its core services to maintain its dominance in the wide internet space. The latest update is focused on Chromecast users who can now queue videos to be played from YouTube without opening multiple browsers on the computer. The move is aimed at simplifying users' experience in sharing videos from Web to TV.
In a Google+ post from YouTube's official account, Google shared the news of the new feature on Friday. In addition to being able to queue videos from the web, YouTube is also getting a new watch page to help viewers create playlists and share videos on social media sites more easily along with a new description box.
Google has been focusing on its services like YouTube and Gmail a lot lately. The company added slew of new features at this year's VidCon in Anaheim in June. New features focused on both creators and users include support for 60 frames per second, free music and sound effect library, click tagging system, YouTube Creator Studio for iOS devices and the virtual tip-jar called Fan Funding for viewers to directly send cash to creators.
In wake of the growing technology used in high-end smartphones and tablets, Google decided to boost the video resolution from 1080p to 1440p for QHD displays in April. More and more companies are adding 2K displays for flagship devices, which will help boost the use of new video standard.
The new features for YouTube come at a time when Google is experimenting to make the video site more attractive and lucrative. The web giant announced a new music subscription service via YouTube called YouTube Music Key for $9.99 a month, earlier this month. The service will provide users uninterrupted music with features like offline playback and more.
The Chromecast feature on YouTube is available via update and the other UI changes will be rolled out in the next few days, Engadget reports.
