Live chatting during YouTube live streams will soon be widely available. Thanks to the recent app update that brings the Live Chat feature to mobile devices. The YouTube 6.0 version now allows live commenting or live chatting when videos are streaming. This isn’t actually new because it’s already possible on desktop. Google’s migration to Hangouts has brought this change so it’s really a good thing. Google has not made an official announcement but the updated version is on Google Play.
No need to switch to desktop chat to see the live chat window and read all the comments coming in. It’s more fun to watch a YouTube live stream and then read the annoying and oftentimes funny comments. There are too many trolls in the Internet that they can be entertaining at times. And with the live chat feature on YouTube mobile app, you can join the trolling or you may leave an intelligent comment. It’s up to you if you’ll join the trolls and annoy the uploader.
YouTube 6.0 now features a new music homepage for the user. You can find new music easier, discover new artists and songs, as well as play albums fast from the search. The live chat could still be in beta mode right now but we’re glad Google has finally brought this feature.
Download the new YouTube app from the Google Play Store or get the APK.

Youtube 6.0 is HORRIBLE on tablets. It took away a lot of funtionality. I even factory reset my tablet to download an apk of youtube 5.XX. Also the comments are now disabled for all videos. Point is if it aint broke, don’t fix it. End rant.
