YouTube first tested the feature with March Madness, and now you’ll be able to use it while watching the NFL Draft, which begins at 8PM ET. This seems like yet another test ahead of the full NFL season, where it would make sense for YouTube to launch this feature in full.

The first of the two Coachella concert weekends is about to start, and for those who couldn’t go (or are too old to find the idea appealing, or who bought an NFT but lost access to it in the FTX crash), YouTube is, as usual, streaming the event.

YouTube has issued a warning about phishing emails that appear to come from no-reply@youtube.com, an official email address. This serves as a reminder that even if an email looks legit, always double-check to see if the content passes the sniff test so you don’t get hacked.
