Is growing your YouTube channel a priority? If so, consider how YouTube consumption is growing on televisions.

  • More people watch YouTube on TV than any other device (Tubular Labs)
  • YouTube ranks No. 1 in U.S. TV viewing time (Nielsen)
  • >57% of YouTube’s mins watched in 2025 (through May) were delivered by videos of 20+ mins (Tubular Labs via Bloomberg)

Given these trends, we recommend that brands invest in the following areas relative to their YouTube content:

  • Produce more long-form video content
  • Produce episodic video content
  • Produce higher-resolution videos
