The YouTube TV app can now use your Android / iOS device as a remote

If you use the YouTube TV app to stream videos on your smart TV, I'm sure you know the struggle of using the remote to navigate around the platform or using the on-screen keyboard to make comments. To solve this difficulty faced by many, YouTube has now come up with a solution that enables them to interact with a YouTube video on TV through their smartphone. Check out the details below right now!

The YouTube TV app now syncs with the YouTube mobile app

YouTube recently shared an official blog post to announce the new feature that allows users to seamlessly connect their (Android and iOS) devices with the YouTube TV app. With this, the YouTube app on smartphones will sync with the YouTube TV app and allow users to comment, subscribe or like videos on TV through their smartphones in real-time.

Basically, YouTube wants you to use the YouTube app for mobile devices as a remote for the YouTube TV app to perform tasks on the platform, which was otherwise a hassle with a TV remote. You can see the attached GIF below to get an idea of how the feature works.

YouTube says that according to studies and user reports, 80% of people use a companion device, such as their smartphone, while they're watching a YouTube video on their TV. Hence, the Google-owned video streaming giant's new feature will now allow users to quickly sync their YouTube mobile and TV apps in real-time.

This can be done through a pretty simple process. You just need to open the YouTube TV and mobile app and then tap on the connect option which will pop up automatically. You need to make sure that both devices are signed in to the same YouTube account. As part of the setup, if you pause the video on your smartphone, it will also pause on your TV.

Regarding availability, YouTube said it has started rolling out the new feature to users starting today. So, don't forget to update the YouTube app on your smartphone to get the feature.
