Sat Apr 26 04:10:00 UTC 2025: ## YouTube Celebrates 20 Years with New Features Across Platforms
**New York, NY** – YouTube is marking its 20th anniversary with a range of new features and updates across its platforms, including YouTube TV, YouTube Kids, and the main app. The announcement comes alongside the revelation that over 20 million videos are uploaded to the platform daily.
A major update for YouTube TV is the expansion of its multiview feature beyond sports. Initially limited to simultaneous viewing of sporting events, multiview will now allow users to watch up to four non-sports channels concurrently. This feature will initially roll out with a selection of popular channels, with wider availability planned in the coming months.
The main YouTube app also receives several enhancements. These include a new voice reply feature for comments (coming later this year), an AI-powered “Ask Music” tool for creating personalized radio stations based on mood or musical preference (available now for YouTube Premium and Music subscribers), and 4x playback speed for Premium members. The YouTube TV app will also see UI improvements, including easier navigation and playback quality adjustments.
Furthermore, YouTube acknowledged several existing, yet lesser-known features, including 2x speed playback via long-pressing the video player, screen locking, a sleep timer, and keyboard shortcuts. The popular Song Search function, a YouTube equivalent of Shazam, also remains a highlighted feature.
These updates highlight YouTube’s continued commitment to innovation and user experience as it celebrates two decades of streaming dominance.
