YouTube Launches Social Viewing App

This week YouTube launched a new app called Uptime, which lets users watch videos together. During shared viewing, users of the app can comment and post emojis and reactions for others to see. Uptime is not designed for private sharing, and is geared for users to share and post content for others on Uptime to discover. According to Video Ink, "A majority of the content in the app has been seeded by its creators and it is these "StaffPick" that fill the app's feed. The picks include a range of content from TV show clips to funny videos and others that make sense for co-watching." Read more on the pros and cons of YouTube new social viewing app here.
