[YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primetime-channels) is now integrating new streaming services into its main app with the introduction of the Primetime Channel feature. This feature will see 30 new services added to the YouTube interface, including AMC+, [Paramount](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinehub-app)+, [Showtime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sling-tv-1), and Starz. Users can find the new services within the ‘YouTube Movies & Shows’ tab on the main page and enjoy additional services like the NBA League Pass, which will launch on the platform soon.

YouTube users can use the app’s search feature to explore content ranging from films to shows, but for specific content, users will have to register for the streaming service through the YouTube platform.

Currently, the Primetime Channel feature is available to U.S. residents with plans to expand internationally in the future.
