Research by YouTube found that the vast majority of people use a second screen whilst watching YouTube on their TV \u2013 over 80%, and many are browsing the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-youtube-music-distribution-2\/\">YouTube <\/a>mobile app at the same time, with the same video open on their phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"927\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/youtube-on-tv.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91858 lazyload\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The new feature is also a good way to keep users glued to <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-add-your-artist-image-on-youtube-music\/\">YouTube <\/a>rather than browsing different apps at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span><a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">Are you a musician or producer?
