YouTube launches ‘breaking news’ feed

August 21, 2017 14.08 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Google has added a Breaking News carousel to all its mobile apps and homepage.

The new section, which launched last Friday, appears in a similar way to a recommended channel on the site’s homepage, and as a scrollable carousel on the mobile app.

The section is filled with stories from recognised news outlets in the user’s part of the world.

Although the feed is available on all apps and YouTube website, it is not available yet in all territories.
