After months of build-up, YouTube has today officially announced that podcasts will soon be distributed through YouTube Music as part of a push for podcasting on the platform as a whole.

YouTube has experimented a few times as of late with changing up its offerings for content quality, and this week it seems to be testing out a new “1080p Premium” tier that ups the quality.

It’s been clear for some time that YouTube has its sights set on podcasts, and the company is taking a considerable step in that direction, as a new test offers a soft launch for a suite of podcasting tools on YouTube.

Fans of YouTube’s history are likely aware of “Me at the zoo,” the oldest video on YouTube which was published on April 23, 2005. Recently, people began sharing a different video that says it was published more than two weeks earlier, but all evidence points to this video being a fake.

In one of its biggest moves for short-form videos, YouTube has just confirmed that revenue sharing for YouTube Shorts will begin on February 1.

Google and YouTube secured the rights to NFL Sunday Ticket in a landmark deal in December, with games set to start airing in late 2023. Now, a YouTube TV exec has confirmed that the platform’s split-screen viewing experience should be ready in time for NFL Sunday Ticket.

Back in October, YouTube rolled out a big redesign across its mobile apps and the web. YouTube for Android is now testing a more subtle video progress bar that isn’t red all the time.
