2nd and most of all! As we develop more ways to enjoy podcasts on YouTube next year, keep checking out youtube.com/podcasts for even more podcasts to enjoy.
Looking back at 2025 as a breakthrough year for podcasts on YouTube, one thing stands out: viewership on TVs is higher than ever.
In fact, viewers watched over 700 million hours of podcasts on living room devices in October 2025, up from 400 million hours from just a year prior.
To support this shift to the big screen, we updated the living room interface with the Creator Shows experience to help you find your next binge-worthy podcast.

There are lots of changes that will improve the app that I’m sure will make the experience better. I can see the video playing, I don’t need another visual cue to tell me it is playing, so this is nothing but an irritant, distracting from the video I’m watching. The fact that you added it proves you’re putting too many ads in your forced as segments.

К чему снится: Шоколад
Шоколад – это не просто десерт, это магия, которая способна пробудить в нас самые приятные ощущения.
I enjoy YT but honestly it’s becoming unbearable to be on cause unless it’s mobile phone you’re BOMBARDED with ad after ad before you can watch a two minute video the only way it makes sense is when you’re watching a 5+ hour video, and the ad spam lets you have a certain amount of time (like 15-30 mins) without them.
