Following a brief test earlier this week on the main website, YouTube Music for Android is now beginning to more widely see outline-style icons.  This change starts in the bottom bar with Home, Explore, and Library getting ever so slightly tweaked to accommodate the new style. Meanwhile, the top app bar sees thinner icons for Cast and Search. In the Library tab, the icons for Downloads, Playlists, Albums, Songs, Artists, and Subscriptions are all refreshed.  Various overflow menus throughout the app have also been updated. Lastly, this change modernizes the Now Playing screen with like/unlike, as well as everything that appears when you tap cover art, modified. YouTube TV has yet to be updated, but the direction toward uniformity and consistency is clear. In the case of YouTube Music, the outline style doesn’t make a significant difference beyond making the app feel lighter — and somewhat more generic. For some, the lines are slightly too thin, but muscle memory is not impacted. Visibility is improved in one regard as the starker outline is much more apparent against dark backgrounds than the previous gray. These outline-style icons are not yet widely rolled out, but appearing for more YouTube Music Android users today…

In just a few days, the video has been viewed over 4,000 times A Clearwater resident is hoping to make her brother’s 19th birthday extra special, by helping him achieve his dream of becoming a YouTube star. Morgan Thomas put together a video of her brother Parker, who has a rare form of Down Syndrome, and posted it to YouTube and sharing it on Facebook on March 21. Since then, the video had been viewed over 4,000 times on YouTube by people all over the world and her Facebook post has over 200 shares (and potentially a couple hundred more through her friend’s posts as well). “He’s pretty happy!” Morgan told The Times. She added Parker had been talking about being a YouTube star for some time so she created a little video to help make that happen, using the skills acquired from a digital filmmaking program. Though Parker’s ability to speak is limited, that hasn’t stopped him from becoming a social butterfly. The pandemic put a damper on his social life, making it rough for him and the family. But the video is a way for Morgan to make him smile. The minute-and-a-half video, shows a slide show of…

Demi Lovato chose Google's (GOOGL) YouTube as the official home for her four-part docuseries, "Dancing with the Devil." It details the singer's near-fatal overdose in 2018, and the turbulent events that led to it.The bombshell documentary follows a similar path as Justin Bieber's "Seasons," Paris Hilton's "This is Paris," and Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman Diaries," which also aired on the video-sharing platform.In 2017, YouTube released "Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated," a documentary about Lovato's life and career.But with traditional streamers from Netflix (NFLX) to Hulu (DIS) sinking their teeth into celebrity-focused programming, including "Surviving R. Kelly," “Framing Britney Spears," “Leaving Neverland" and "Operation Varsity Blues," YouTube seems like a dark horse candidate for such a high-profile offering.Or is it?"YouTube has billions and billions of viewers," Morningstar analyst Ali Mogharabi told Yahoo Finance. He added that although some YouTube Originals require a premium subscription, the platform "can help more aggressively promote some of the other things they may have in mind for the future such as attracting more subscribers to their own specific channels."Currently, nearly 17 million people subscribe to Lovato's YouTube channel. According to the company, over 2 billion logged-in users visit the YouTube platform each month, with visitors consuming…

YouTube recently announced that taxes of between 0% to 30% will be deducted from the US earnings of creators living outside the country. This is applicable for creators under the YouTube Partner Programme, which requires creators to have more than 1,000 subscribers and more than 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months. This will mean that creators in Singapore and Malaysia, for instance, are required to pay the full 30% since both countries do not have tax treaties with the US. YouTube's parent company Google previously explained that it has a responsibility under Chapter 3 of the US Internal Revenue Code to collect tax info from all monetising creators outside of the country and withhold taxes in certain instances when they earn income from viewers in the US. These are earnings from viewers in the US through ad views, YouTube Premium, Super Chat, Super Stickers and Channel Memberships. Nonetheless, YouTube content creators who MARKETING-INTERACTIVE spoke don't seem to be rattled. Singaporean YouTube content creator and CEO of Titan Digital Media JianHao Tan (pictured left) said for the past few years, the company has paid tax for its total YouTube ad revenue income - hence this will be a slight…

YouTube has been one of the most popular video-sharing platforms that allow users to embed media uploaded on its servers to be seen in other locations such as social media platforms. Some allow YouTube links to be seen with its thumbnail then redirecting to another page, but Twitter is on the verge of letting YT videos play on its applications. (Photo : Pexels)Twitter Hacker gets 3 Years of Jail time in Juvenile Facility after elaborate Bitcoin Scam. Without the need to jump from one app to another, Twitter is trying to develop a feature that would soon come for users and complement their usage of social media to watch and play YouTube videos on the platform. Only a few applications allow this feature, and it is surely a limited one for smartphones, as it has been canceled or removed from others. Twitter's Support for different platforms and applications in the world of technology is one of the most extensive there is, surpassing that of rival social media websites and applications available to people. Facebook and Instagram allow embedding and sharing of links, but a direct play on its platform of the YouTube video is not allowed. Read Also: Ford vs. Tesla: Spokesperson Calls…

YouTube TV is already fairly pricey, as cable-cutting services go. But if you want even more content on top of its standard live TV channels and on-demand video, you can add on more packages (just like old-fashioned cable TV, for better or worse). An interface tweak is making it easier to find these options on television, without having to search for them on a phone app or the web. First spotted by 9to5Google, the new store tab is appearing on YouTube TV apps for various platforms, as well as Android TV. (The photo above is from the Xbox app.) If you have the updated UI, you'll see it in the icons on top of the interface, on the upper-right corner. The "Store" icon (a TV with a dollar sign inside of it) is to the left of the search button. On the "Add to Your Lineup" menu, you can see all of the available add-on subscriptions from HBO, Showtime, Starz, AMC, et cetera. Helpfully, the additional cost per month is shown in their individual tiles—you can see just how pricey your subscription will become in real time. One selected, the tool opens a web page and insists upon a Google…

If you're into modern classic luxury sedans, the E38 BMW 7 Series should be near the top of your list. Many believe this was the best 7 Series model and one of the most timeless shapes in BMW history, but that never translated into anything. The E38 is somewhat desirable. Many YouTube car collectors have bought this 7 Series, and the reliability of the engines is usually the main subject of conversation. You can get a lot of displacement for iPhone money, but keeping it working is another story. Doug DeMuro even said that it's his favorite luxury sedan of all time, though all his reviews that kind of dramatic punch line. This is the 3rd-generation model which was in production from 1994 to 2001. It was one of the most ambitious eras in terms of engineering, as the usual straight-six was available alongside a V12 and even a twin-turbocharged V8. The E38 was also the first 7er with a diesel engine, plus the first German car with satellite navigation or a built-in TV. The current generation of the 7 Series is completely different, far longer, and heavier. Thanks to some very powerful engines, it's also fast in a drag…
