The official launch of YouTube Leanback

In July, I wrote about the beta service YouTube Leanback, and yesterday it was officially launched.

In short, Leanback is a new way to use YouTube on the big screen. He was named “Leanback” (lean back - “sit back”) and you can do just that: relax and watch YouTube videos with minimal effort for hours. When you go to youtube.com/leanback , the video starts playing instantly, always presented in full screen and HD (if available), and you can easily switch between videos using only the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Now YouTube Leanback is gaining the role of YouTube's center on Google TV, which will appear in US stores this week. When you open Leanback on Google TV (or via the Internet), videos that are selected based on subscriptions and viewing history begin to play instantly. If you are not interested, Leanback also offers 10 daily updated channels with popular and interesting videos in genres such as comedy, entertainment, news, science and technology, style and much more. You can also watch full-length movies and high-quality television shows rented on youtube.com.
