YouTube has just launched a new YouTube chat feature for its mobile app through which you can not only share and receive videos with your friends, but you can also chat about them right on YouTube app.
Let me clear you more on this topic.
Till date, how do you share your favorite YouTube videos to your friends or family?
By copy-pasting a video link and sending it to friends or family via an email or through apps such as WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook or Gmail. Now, there is no need to do all this headache of copy-paste.
From, now onwards, you can directly share your favorite videos within the YouTube app, and start a chat there. Even, you will be able to add friends and family by inviting them to the app through an invitation link. The updated YouTube app also supports group sharing up to 30 people.
It’s very interesting to note that you can also share privately via chat within the YouTube app.

We think it’ll make sharing easier, faster and more fun on your phone. And if you want to continue sharing videos through other apps, you can still do that too.
