The cable TV company and Google today announced the addition of a YouTube app across Comcast’s Xfinity X1 service nationwide, which will allow customers to watch YouTube content alongside traditional TV programming. YouTube videos will also be featured in Xfinity on Demand, and will be accessible via the X1 voice remote. >The ability to voice control TV and video content is something a number of streaming media players favored by cord cutters offer, including Amazon’s Fire TV and Stick (via Alexa), Android TV (via Google Assistant), Roku, and Apple TV (via Siri), for example. More recently, traditional pay TV operators have been getting into the game as well, as Dish did earlier this year when it announced the ability to integrate with Amazon Alexa for hands-free TV.
