Youtube XL Announced for Big screens


recent launch from YouTube sees the video on demand site now catering to those with the smallest screens available, right up to the biggest.

Just as there is a version of YouTube optimised for watching on mobile phones, the company has now launched a version optimised for watching on large screens.


YouTube "XL" gets a new design that sees larger text, simplified navigation and a continuous play feature, which lets you search for a topic on YouTube and then press play once to watch all of the videos sequentially on that topic.

Getting from one video to the next takes just a few clicks, claims YouTube, and the action can be controlled via a Bluetooth-enabled remote control, or in some cases, your mobile phone.

With YouTube's high definition content increasing by day, and internet-enabled televisions and other home cinema devices more and more common, the world's most popular video website wanting to move onto your telly seems a logical step.
