Youtube Red will expand to more countries this year

YouTube has evolved a lot since it was acquired by Google and has expanded to include music and private content through Youtube Red. There are even rumors that YouTube is planning to launch a new service to broadcast songs, but recent comments made by YouTube's CEO have raised some doubts about it.

YouTube's CEO, Susan Wojcicki, confirmed at the media conference that Youtube Red is a music service. "Youtube Red is a truly musical service," said Susan Wojcicki. We have an amazing range of songs. Then on top of it all is the ability to watch free ads, as well as the ability to work in the background and in the Offline mode. Moreover, we were actually working on a collection of original YouTube content. "

If this is how YouTube actually sees YouTube Red, launching a separate music service is highly unlikely. Susan Wojcicki also revealed that YouTube plans to launch Youtube Red in more countries this year after the completion of YouTube deals with music industry brands.

"This year you will also see the expansion of Youtube Red to more countries," said Susan Wojcicki. Youtube Red is only available in five countries at this time. Now that we have finished all of our musical deals we will actually expand to a large number of countries. " However, Susan Wojcicki did not tell us where the YouTube Red service will launch exactly this year.
