UK multiplayer operator EE has confirmed that it will be launching the YouTube app on EE TV. EE TV customers will be able to access the YouTube app from the featured apps rail on both their TV Box Pro and TV Box Mini. The app will appear alongside other streaming and entertainment apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, NOW and Apple TV+.
The move is part of EE’s plan to offer its TV customers a wider range of great TV content and features, and YouTube’s vast library of content, including videos, music and livestreams, will be available via the platform, giving users easier than ever access to their favourite channels and content. Customers can customise their experience by using their existing YouTube account to subscribe to channels, create playlists and get personalised recommendations.
EE TV customers can also sign up for YouTube Premium and YouTube Primetime Channels through the YouTube app on their TV Box Pro and TV Box Mini devices. YouTube Premium offers ad-free access to content across the entire YouTube service, the ability to download videos and play videos in the background on mobile devices, and access to music streaming service YouTube Music, while YouTube Primetime Channels allows viewers to browse and watch official movies, TV shows, and live content from third-party streaming services in the YouTube app. You can sign up for streaming services directly in the Movies & TV area of the Primetime Channels section of the YouTube app.
Designed to offer busy families a truly flexible TV experience, EE TV is the first to offer flexible content packages, hardware choice and multi-room options available at no extra cost.
Alistair Wilson, partnerships director at EE, said: “With our new EE TV service, we want to give our customers a wide choice of the best TV shows, movies and sport, giving them access to the content they love. YouTube is our latest partner and we’re sure it will be very well received by customers with a vast library of video and music content now easily accessible through the service.”
EE TV has teamed up with EE broadband to provide lightning fast speeds, meaning connection issues won’t get in the way of your viewing experience. EE TV customers can also enjoy incredible mobile savings for the whole family, with the ability to add an unlimited data SIM to a flexible 30-day subscription from just £10. This new offer means EE TV and broadband customers can experience the best mobile and broadband networks together, delivering unrivalled value.
