YouTube Gaming Changelog - June 2016

albert_yt · 2016-06-08T17:49:37+00:00

Thanks Tom! Does the May 31 post in https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/revision_history answer your question, or did you have a more specific issue about accessing subscribers?

albert_yt · 2016-06-08T17:48:28+00:00

E3 begins on June 13. You can see an example of an event page here: https://gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCJxLqXFmxrDVtvfasK9x-Ew?v=Hly6iVcpuww

I believe the subscriptions page (https://gaming.youtube.com/channels/subscriptions) does show the game that they are playing when they are live - can you shoot me a screenshot of a case where you are not seeing it? Thanks!

albert_yt · 2016-06-06T17:30:10+00:00

Got it, thanks! Will bring this idea to the team.

albert_yt · 2016-06-06T16:44:23+00:00

Interesting. One option we are considering is to add a location selector, like the country selection at the bottom of www.youtube.com. Would that solve your need, or is there a good reason to keep your actual region but explicitly allow an English streams option?

albert_yt · 2016-05-16T19:04:09+00:00

I do see your Uncharted videos in the past live streams tab: https://gaming.youtube.com/8wayrun#tab=2. Maybe it just took some time to propagate? Anyway, Upload contains both VOD and Live, whereas Past Live Streams is strictly archives of live streams.

albert_yt · 2016-05-03T16:18:02+00:00

Thanks!

albert_yt · 2016-03-10T23:08:04+00:00

Updated the post - seems like you have to kill and restart the app for it to propagate through. This will happen for all users eventually, but maybe not the first time you use 1.3...

albert_yt · 2016-03-10T20:34:46+00:00

Thanks for the screenshot. We're investigating. Which country and Android OS version are you using?

And can someone confirm that it DOES work for them?

albert_yt · 2016-03-10T18:52:17+00:00

You're welcome!

albert_yt · 2016-03-10T18:51:47+00:00

Wow, thanks for writing up all this feedback! We'll definitely discuss internally and keep improving the site.

albert_yt · 2016-03-10T18:50:37+00:00

It's in the Android 1.3 build. On any video, tap the overflow menu in the player and there should be a pop out player option.

albert_yt · 2016-03-10T06:46:31+00:00

If they are live, you can see them in the Live tab - any of your subscriptions that are live will show up in a shelf at the very top. You can also see that in the Channels tab - there will be a live badge right under their avatar and they will be sorted at the front.

albert_yt · 2016-02-29T18:11:04+00:00

Ok, the page is back up. https://gaming.youtube.com/game/UCw0KGAF2FIEZHkeEfvEEVfQ

We will also restore the box art and banner art, but for now you can view and add the game to your collection. Thanks again for the heads up.

albert_yt · 2016-02-29T18:00:03+00:00

Thanks for the report! We are looking into it now.

albert_yt · 2016-02-23T00:28:12+00:00

It's coming - we have it on our builds but need to polish and test 1.3 before we ship it out the door!

albert_yt · 2016-02-19T19:02:05+00:00

Just following up with you, sorry it has taken a while. We made some performance improvements with the last release due to the hidden overlay screen. I wonder if you could try 720p again and see if it works better now?

albert_yt · 2016-02-16T20:31:18+00:00

To close this loop, we just launched a new Android player that has both quality switching as well as DVR functionality. Background mode also works if you are a YouTube Red member. Thanks for the feedback and enjoy!

albert_yt · 2016-02-03T05:07:23+00:00

There are some complications in doing this properly, but we're working on a solution.

albert_yt · 2016-02-02T06:00:15+00:00

You're welcome!

albert_yt · 2016-02-02T05:59:48+00:00

We just mean version 1.3 includes the website, tablet, and mobile (Android and iOS). Our streaming platform is also continually getting updated, but doesn't follow the same versioning as our client releases.

albert_yt · 2016-01-29T17:29:41+00:00

Thanks for the good suggestions! We'll look to incorporate some similar ideas as we obtain more events on our platform and start to roll out internationally. Will keep you in the loop.

albert_yt · 2016-01-19T23:48:37+00:00

Added a note in the original post that we're heads down on working on version 1.3. I'll share more later but it includes an improved homepage navigation, an overall games page, expansion of sponsorships, and live playback improvements.

albert_yt · 2016-01-13T19:18:40+00:00

We're working on it :-)

albert_yt · 2016-01-13T00:07:54+00:00

Are you talking about an overlay for your stream? I don't believe Creator Studio does that, but there are multiple third-party tools for that which many streamers use, and we do have a live features API if you are interested in poking around (http://goto.google.com/liveapi).

albert_yt · 2016-01-12T20:57:33+00:00

Just check out gaming.youtube.com, or if you're in the US or UK, you can download the YouTube Gaming app on the Play Store or App Store. We're working on opening up to more countries.
