YouTube TV’s Silent Background Audio Power-Up

YouTube TV now supports background audio on Android and iOS, letting live TV, sports, and news continue sound even when the screen is off. Born from a 2024 experimental rollout, it’s become a standard feature bundled with the subscription and accessible via iOS Control Center and Android controls. The feature is practical for listening on the go, conserving battery and offering a radio-like experience for real-time events, without the need to keep the video visible.

Clubhouse cuts staff by over 50% in major restructuring.

Clubhouse, the audio-only app, is laying off over 50% of its employees as it struggles to stay relevant in a post-Covid world. The co-founders believe a smaller, "product-focused" team will help the app evolve and iterate faster on the details. Clubhouse first emerged as an invite-only app in 2020, but has since faced competition from Twitter Spaces and other audio-only features. The app launched a feature called "Houses" last August to help users make new friends in a more intimate setting.

"Google Meet introduces new video feed control options"

Google Meet is introducing a new feature that allows users to turn off individual feeds during a meeting to block out potential distractions like virtual backgrounds or pets. The feature is available on both mobile and desktop apps and won't notify anyone that their feed has been turned off. Additionally, users can now block out all feeds except for those belonging to the presenter by selecting "Audio only" when joining a meeting, but this feature is only available on mobile devices for now.
