People watch a wide range of video content on YouTube, from tech reviews to standup comedy and more. The current level of content diversity, quality, and volume is unparalleled, and YouTube has just announced Primetime Channels, a new feature. The feature is currently only available in the United States.
The Primetime Channels feature will allow you to watch your favourite TV shows, movies, and sports directly in the YouTube app from services such as SHOWTIME, STARZ, Paramount+, AMC+, and ViX+.
The Alphabet-owned giant claims that users can enjoy over 30 channels that can be purchased directly through YouTube, and other popular streaming services such as NBA League Pass are set to launch soon. To sign up for the service in the United States, go to the Movies and TV section.
“We are excited to expand our partnership with YouTube to offer customers of Paramount+ another way to stream the content they love,” said Jeff Shultz, Chief Strategy
Officer and Business Development Officer, Paramount Streaming.
YouTube claims that the company will keep adding new content options to Primetime Channels and eventually, it will expand worldwide to international users as well.
In a blogpost, YouTube said, “Once you sign up, content from your Primetime Channels will be reflected into the YouTube experience you know and love. For fans who like to go deeper into what they’re watching, Primetime Channels homepages will feature shows and movies with curated trailers, behind-the-scenes footage and cast interviews.
When searching for content from your purchases, you’ll be able to quickly identify and access them in the search results, alongside videos from your favorite creators.”
