YouTube Gaming was a video gaming application for videos and live streaming, developed and launched by YouTube on August 26, 2015, and intended to compete with the Amazon.com-owned Twitch, Facebook Gaming, and Microsoft-owned Mixer.[1]
YouTube Gaming was turned into a gaming entertainment category to attract special interest in its online video service, where all game-related videos on YouTube were stored and had the ability to display live streams or uploaded videos and share it.[2][3]
In September 2018 Google announced the shut down of the app on May 30, 2019, and transferred all of its popularity to the main application.[4]
