YouTube TV starts rolling out Last Channel Shortcut to all subscribers،
YouTube TV has been testing a new feature called “Last Channel Shortcut” for a few months, which allows users to easily switch between channels. The feature was gradually rolled out to various platforms such as mobile devices and Roku.
Today, the streaming service announced that Last Channel Shortcut is rolling out to everyone. To take advantage of the new feature, you will need to long press the Select/OK button on the remote to switch to a channel/video you were previously watching. Here is a step-by-step guide published by YouTube TV on reddit:
- Open the YouTube TV app on your TV
- Play any video
- Choose and play another video
- Long press (press and hold) the OK/Select button on your remote while watching the second video
- You will be redirected to the last channel or video you were watching
It's important to mention that the new Last Channel Shortcut feature should work on all content types, including Live, DVR, and VOD. If you're a YouTube TV subscriber, you should already see the new feature. Hopefully this won't be temporarily removed, like the “enhanced 1080p” feature, which is no longer available once the issues are detected.
