YouTube Gaming Launched New Hub
A new gaming hub is launched by YouTube that works to promote creators and serve better gaming content.
One of the most popular categories of videos that effortlessly dominate YouTube than any other is gaming. Now, while players of different demographics can find it pretty exciting, it can be real tough sometime to find out definite titles or proffered creators on the platform.
To tackle this unwanted issue, a brand-new dedicated tab is added to the video-sharing website for gaming related videos. This will help people find out the games they are looking for or popular gaming content creators.

YouTube Gaming may not sound like a new concept because they previously served an app to show gaming content. However, despite their best efforts to make it stand out, it actually hampered visibility for many creators, according to head of YouTube Gaming, Ryan Wyatt.
Without the app or going to the gaming hub, people couldn't really find contents or their creators on the platform. Besides, most of the users simply used it for the regular streaming experience.

Back then only a few handful of them came out on top while a huge number of them was never even reached. The new gaming tab on YouTube is added onto the main site and is designed to discover various creators, which will look the same as before.
Meanwhile, the YouTube Gaming app will be available but only until March 2019, when it will be taken down officially. So, the community of gamers and creators will be all gathered onto one place for better access to find each other.

As a pioneer in video-streaming sites, YouTube receives more than 200 million of traffic everyday who comes to watch gaming videos and live streams. It simply points out how bigger of a platform it has become for the video gaming community.
Many come there looking for simple walkthrough videos, reviews, charity live and even Esports on a regular basis. Also, over the last 12 months, the site has amassed 50 billion hours of watch time from various range of gaming content.

YouTube's new initiative for gaming has worked on essential tools for the past few years, focusing the efforts to deliver a better experience for everyone visiting the platform. In 2015, the newly launched gaming app failed but also helped the team test what works and what doesn't.
Wyatt states that, with their redefined home for gaming, the tab will incorporate more with the main site and help every visitors find popular and preferred creators and their trending contents more easily.

Users will receive personalized recommendations tailored for them at the top, based on their watch history as well as recently uploaded videos of your subscribed channels and their top live game streaming.
Seeing all those changes introduced to the system, some might even say that YouTube is apparently trying to mimic Twitch on certain levels. However, Ryan Wyatt admits that despite gaming being one of the biggest parts of their business, Twitch is doing great in balancing live-stream.
