YouTube's testing its Queue system for its iOS and Android apps – The Verge

YouTube is starting to test out its queueing system on iOS and Android. The feature has been available on the web for years now, and shows in the YouTube apps under certain circumstances — users who control their Chromecast with their phones might recognize it, as will those who use the YouTube Music apps — but now YouTube Premium users who opt-in to the test will be able to add videos to a stack that acts like an impermanent playlist.After you turn on the feature (which we’ll cover how to do in just a second), you’ll have access to a new “Play last in queue” button in the three vertical dot menu that appears on video thumbnails. Tapping it will add the video to the bottom of your queue — or will create a new queue if you’re currently not watching a video. Once the video you’re watching ends, the app will starting playing the next video in the queue, and keep going until you run out. You can also rearrange videos in the queue, or remove them.

YouTube Music tests live lyrics with newer Casting UI

As previously hinted, YouTube Music is getting live lyrics as part of a tweaked Casting UI that some users have already received.

YouTube Outbids Amazon Prime Video And ESPN+ For NFL Sunday Night Ticket – Forbes

Photo by Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images.Getty Images After DIRECTV made it clear it had no intention of renewing its deal for the NFL Sunday Night Ticket package, which had been bleeding red ink for years, analyst attention shifted to growing online video services. Alphabet GOOGL Inc.’s YouTube division won the bidding, and is paying an average of $2 billion/year, 33% above the $1.5 billion/year DIRECTV had paid. The NFL had been looking to expand into a growing footprint, with cable and satellite operators bleeding subs due to cord cutting (moving to online video) and cord shaving (downgrading to a cheaper package). Clearly, cable and satellite platforms were no longer an option for this niche football service. “I don’t know if it’s so much a changing of the guard, but an expansion of distribution and an expansion of the ways in which fans can interact with our sport and our league,” Dhruv Prasad, SVP Media Strategies and Strategic Investments for the NFL, told The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s no question that digital platforms have only increased in audience over the last several years and our interest at the NFL is getting our content in front of as many as fast as possible…” he
