Hello friends,
YouTube’s mobile apps have come a long way over the past few years. It’s now easier than ever to navigate, it has pretty much all the necessary features that the web version has ( without seeming cluttered) and it allows you to stream HD videos instantly in full screen.
To make the most of your YouTube mobile app experience, it’s worth getting familiar with some of the most useful features. Here are a few tips and tricks to start using immediately.
Seamlessly Switch Between Multiple Accounts
If you already use YouTube from the desktop web, you can make sure that all of your home feed suggestions, subscriptions and profile settings are all synced up to your mobile app by simply signing into your account within the app. If you have multiple Google accounts each with its own YouTube account as well, the YouTube app makes it easy for you to add multiple accounts so you can easily switch between them.
Just tap the profile icon in the top menu, tap the three dots in the top screen, tap Switch account from the bottom menu and tap + Add account to sign in to your account. All the accounts to sign in to from here will be listed so you can tap any one of them to switch to it anytime you want.
Apply Filters and Music to Videos You Upload Through the App
In addition to being able to edit your video directly through the YouTube app, you can also style it up by instantly applying filters to it ( similar to how Instagram filters work) .
You can also preview exactly how your video will look with any filter.
The YouTube app has a really great music feature that comes with a built-in library of tracks plus the ability to connect to the music on your device if you want to use your own tracks instead. When you’re editing your video, tap the music note icon to see a list of featured tracks or switch to the Genre & Mood tab to browse for something that you want to have a particular sound to it.
