YouTube is the video platform every day thousands of hours of content are shared in almost all external. But Google wants to make its users stay longer on your platform since it has integrated a new youtube chat that allows them to share videos with their friends at the same time that it serves as a messaging system.
Google the app of its video platform. The main novelty? A new YouTube chat, so that all its users can share and comment on your videos privately without the need to leave your application.
With this new measure, YouTube gives one more step towards its total conversion in , and it will be enough to have a Google profile to be able to send videos to our contacts.
This is how the new YouTube chat works
Now, when entering YouTube the mobile application will propose a series of users that you may know so you can add them to your YouTube contacts. You will not have to copy and paste the URL of each of the videos you want to share, but when you are viewing the content and press the new “share” icon you will be able to select up to 30 different users to share the video.
This new function will allow you to create a YouTube chat with which, in addition to watching the video, you can comment, send and of course continue sharing more content that will be stored like a timeline in a social network.
The contacts that you have added to share a video will receive a notification through YouTube, so when a user accesses the content, the new YouTube chat will be activated, very similar to the WhatsApp presentation.

A new messaging function to share videos without leaving the application
If not all the users with whom you would like to share the video are present, you can also have the option to invite more people via dedicated linkswhich can be shared on other platforms.
When you click on any of the videos shared in the YouTube chat itself, you will see that it can be played without the need to leave the chatwhere you can mute notifications, delete messages or add even more participants.
To find your groups or conversations on YouTube, you just have to search for them in the new option “shared” from which you can see all the chats in which you have participated and from where you can also see your contacts or send them invitations.
In fact, this messaging service has been going on for a few months, but an invitation was necessary to start using it. Now it has been released for all users in its mobile version for Android and iOS devices.
It will be a matter of time to see how much acceptance the new YouTube chat has, since being honest it’s a little late and many users are more than used to share the videos through other social networks. Of course, Google has launched a fierce challenge with this new feature, although so far it is only available for mobile devices.
