According to Yaccarino’s statement, this application, which will have the name “X TV”, will be offered through smart televisions. When we look at the video shared by the CEO, we can see that it will come with a YouTube-like interface. Therefore, we can guess that it will be a rival to YouTube, which has a serious superiority on the TV side.
X’s video-focused TV app will have an algorithm that will show trending videos. In this way, users will be able to access popular videos by staying up to date. It is also stated that there will be artificial intelligence support. Accordingly, a more personalized experience will be possible by organizing videos.
Yaccarino also says there will be cross-device support. This means you’ll be able to start watching videos on your phone and continue on your TV. You’ll also be able to stream from your mobile device to the TV screen, just like YouTube. The CEO also says that there will be an advanced video search feature that will allow you to discover videos faster. However, no information about this tool was shared.
Apart from these, users will be allowed to upload videos like a YouTuber. Although it is planned not to include advertisements when it is first released, the platform stated that they may make such a move and bring ads in the future.
That’s all we know about X’s TV for now. Although there is no exact date for when it will be released, we can learn from the CEO’s statement that it will be coming soon. Let’s also add that it will be compatible with most smart TVs
