YouTube brings innovative feature, now you can manage TV app from phone and use it as second screen

If it is said that watching YouTube on TV is great then no one will doubt it. If you get entertainment on the big screen, then things change a lot, but there are some limits in it. For example, you cannot like, subscribe or share a video from the YouTube TV app. This is because the remote control is difficult to use and navigate. Also, most TVs do not have an in-built web browser to support these features. To fix this problem, Google is introducing a new feature, through which you can connect your TV to your smartphone for better use.

Now you can turn your phone into a second screen for YouTube on your TV. To use this feature, you need to sign in with the same YouTube account on your phone and TV. If you’re signed in, open the YouTube app on your TV, then go to the YouTube app on your phone and click Connect when it automatically pops up.

Once connected, you can use your phone’s keyboard to search for videos to watch on your TV. Apart from this, you can make a comment on the video you are watching on TV from your phone or you can see the details of the video you are watching on TV with your phone. This new feature is similar to the casting option, which you can use to cast video from your phone to the TV. Google is now using the same method only for videos you find on your TV’s YouTube app. The rollout of this feature is starting. But it may take some time for it to reach your smartphone or TV.
