YouTube enhances Android TV with new Subscribe button in player interface

9to5google.com

YouTube has updated its Android TV interface by adding a more visible "Subscribe" button in the main player. This change allows users to subscribe to channels directly while watching videos, streamlining the process. Previously, subscribing required multiple steps, but now users can quickly join channels they like without navigating away from the video. The button disappears for channels users are already subscribed to. Additionally, the "Like" and "Dislike" buttons have been separated again, making the interface appear more cluttered. This adjustment aims to encourage more subscriptions while simplifying user interaction.
