YouTube Music Now on Android TV

An update to the YouTube app for Android TV has delivered YouTube Music integration, wider HDR support, and some UI tweaks too.

Android TV’s YouTube app is getting a couple of welcome updates. Thanks to a server-side change, YouTube Music has rolled in on Android TV through the bigger YouTube app — Yep, it’s super weird.

 

This latest server-side update has been rolling out for a few days, and with it delivers a few notable tweaks. Immediately, some users will notice that Google has redone the icons along the sidebar with a slightly tweaked style. Also, some users have reported that HDR seems to work on more Android TV devices with this update. I haven’t encountered this myself, but it’s a welcome addition if it is rolling out widely.

The biggest change to YouTube’s Android TV app, though, is the addition of a music tab. YouTube Music has lacked an official YouTube Music app which, as the service prepares to kill off Google Play Music, is obviously a bit worrying.

To get YouTube Music on Android TV, Google simply integrated that functionality directly into the larger YouTube app. A new tab in the sidebar will pull in your recent YouTube Music mixes and listens along with your “Daily Mix” and other generated playlists.
