YouTube Gaming

It will do it in March 2019 And no, it is not necessarily a defeat nor is it the first time that Google has to lock to any of their products. Of course, YouTube Gaming is still very much alive, and the fact is that the platform will continue its progress giving pleasure and content to the most gamers. The only thing that disappears is the application launched on Android, iOS, and the application for computers. Gamers will continue to have their game channels, chats and other functions, but through the web.

It seems that Google is cleaning up, and after announcing the closure of Gmail Inbox less than a week ago, now it's YouTube Gaming's turn. The application was launched in 2015 to bring to a different section all the special features of the YouTube platform designed for the gaming world and eSports In other words, a different aspect , communication functions, specific content, etc. However, it seems that the use of this application has not had the full impact that was expected, so Google has decided to put in the scissors and simplify things.

Starting in March 2019, the YouTube Gaming apps will no longer be available. However, we can access this special service for gamers through the YouTube website.com/gaming. Here will be all the contents and functions of this service, but unified within the general platform of Google videos. A more logical and practical order than the dedicated application which has been deprecated

The interesting thing is that YouTube Gaming through the web will continue to be useful and differentiated from the rest of the videos on the platform. Something that is already noticeable in the design, which continues with its dark appearance, more typical of products and the gaming world. It will also show an exclusive carousel of content related to the world of videogames From games that are taking place at that very moment live, as well as videos that are trending or channels around specific games. In other words, everything that was already enjoyed through the application, but directly on the web.

Of course, for the moment the first steps in terms of content curation will only be reflected in the United States And that is where they will count with a team of people, as well as an algorithm, to order the videos of the moment and other selections that are being relevant. His idea is to take it to more countries, but it will require more time. So, for the moment, it is possible that these sections and content carousels are not present in Spain or are fed directly from the US criteria.
