"Instead of getting overwhelmed by a long, chaotic list of thumbnails as soon as you open the app, you'll soon be greeted by massive banner images teasing the latest episodes of your favorite channels, ready for you to flick through. Those images, which are also at the top of individual channel pages, will look a lot crisper, thanks to YouTube bumping up its upload limits for thumbnails for the first time in a decade."
"And, perhaps most significantly, a growing number of channels will feature shows in a more familiar format. Videos will be organized by seasons and episodes, ready to be binge-watched, just like on Netflix. "When viewers watch [this] content, they'll go episode to episode based on how it's organized," explains YouTube senior director of product management Kurt Wilms. "When they turn on the TV a day later, they can continue right where they left off in the show.""
YouTube is redesigning its TV app to display large banner images that highlight recent episodes and appear at the top of channel pages. Thumbnail upload limits have been increased for the first time in a decade, producing crisper artwork on TV screens. Many channels will present videos as organized shows with seasons and episodes, enabling viewers to progress episode-to-episode and resume playback where they left off. Living-room usage has grown substantially, with over a billion hours of YouTube watched on TVs every day and YouTube accounting for 12.6 percent of all TV viewing in the United States.
