Subscribers of the live TV service will notice a redesigned, more efficient channel guide. And the library is getting cleaner and more helpful.
will be a huge moment for the service. How do you bring all of that together in a cohesive user experience that’s actually enjoyable to use? It involves a lot of user research.“We go into homes all the time, which literally means we’re in living rooms watching TV with individuals and their families,” said Ahn, who has been at YouTube for nearly seven years, first as the head of user experience for YouTube Music before shifting to the premium TV service in 2019.
. The service’s big redesign had bold ideas, but it bombed with customers, and the company spent months retreating back to a more familiar interface.Ahn said that in the leadup to YouTube TV’s launch, the team had similarly ambitious thoughts of ditching the cable-like live guide altogether, but ultimately decided against it. With the latest refresh, the live guide has a condensed grid that displays more channels and programming on screen.
YouTube TV’s research shows that most people use the library for verification — meaning they want to check and make sure the latest episode of their favorite show or a big sports game was properly saved. So the team tried to make the library more helpful at a glance: at the top of the revamped library page is a new “catch up on your favorites” section that puts your most relevant content in one place.
That all sounds well and good, but when people are paying $64.99 per month for YouTube TV, it damn wellhave a top-notch user experience. It’s right there in the upper echelon of streaming services along with competitors like Hulu with Live TV. I’m more willing to accept less from services that aren’t as expensive.
