For some time the most popular video-sharing site has been using its Primetime Channels to stream third-party entertainment from several networks. Today, Warner Bros.' Max (formerly HBO Max) has joined forces with YouTube to offer an ads-free version of Max through Primetime.
This means that American viewers will have the option of watching an array of scripted as well as unscripted programs of Warner Bros. brands like HBO, TLC, Food Network, HGTV, Cartoon Network, and OWN beginning on December 15.
This integration is a recent effort from Warner Bros. to encourage Max subscriptions. Max's With-Ads tier is currently priced at $9.99 per month, while its Standard Ad-Free tier is $15.99 per month. There is also the highest priced Ultimate Ad-Free level at $19.99 each month.
Utilizing YouTube Primetime users can browse, register for, and stream their favorite shows, movies sports, and other. With the many streaming options available today, Primetime Channels are designed to make it easier for viewers to stream content from multiple streaming services together and subscribe straight to YouTube.
How to watch Max content on YouTube Primetime
Primetime Channels are accessible on the Explore tab to the left of YouTube and then clicking 'Movies and TV'. You can sign up and stream more than 40 live streaming services, with a majority offer a seven-day trial prior to needing a paid subscription.
YouTube primetime channels function like Amazon Prime Channels. They permit you to stream across various channels through your YouTube app. Additionally, you can manage all your subscription services from one location.
Other features available in the YouTube app and website include the addition of the Multiview feature that gives sports fans the option to watch a variety of games at once. The evolution of the platform indicates that Google is working to make YouTube serve as more than the video site it was in the past and is now a multi-functional entertainment platform and, in its ideal world, as a go-to video streaming option for Google customers.
