YouTube is now reportedly in talks with several entertainment companies, in an effort to launch a special online store to allow users to subscribe to a streaming channel and enjoy content from it.
With this move, users can subscribe to other streaming services through YouTube.
For now, it is known as the "Channel Store" internally, and has been developed for the last 18 months.
YouTube is expected to introduce it widely and not limited to the United States only. It is said that YouTube is marketing it by making their platform a one-stop center for various content.
Users are said to be able to watch teaser videos or trailers on YouTube, and continue to choose to watch a movie or TV series in full by subscribing directly to YouTube and not leaving the platform. Since a large number of trailers are published directly on YouTube, and it is often a question of where to watch them, then YouTube's position in the "Channel Store" may have a positive impact, and make it easier for users to subscribe.
YouTube is expected to introduce this "Channel Store" in a few months.
