The video streaming platform knows that industry competition is fierce, so last year it launched a lot of new features, and developed some features that were already available but easy-to-miss. This is where YouTube chat comes in. Although it\u2019s hard to believe, the system has a messaging service like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

In other words, you can write messages, send emojis and hold a normal conversation. However, the biggest difference is that <\/span><b>everything is focused on YouTube<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Instead of attaching videos or images, the icon is of sharing a YouTube clip.
