Google testing Playables that will let you play games in YouTube
Google is reportedly planning a new gaming initiative inside YouTube with “Playables.” This year, the company shut down its gaming platform Stadia and the advertisement business downturn is part of the CEO Sundar Pichai’s push into new areas.
Per the WSJ report, YouTube is internally testing a product called “Playables” for playing online games. This gaming feature with titles accessible from the YouTube app/website on “mobile devices or desktop computers.” Moreover, the internal testing of an arcade game is also underway by employees.
Similar to Stadia, YouTube Playables would allow you to jump into games right from a video or even joining a livestream. As the feature is testing internally, it’s not clear whether it will utilize the same tech as Stadia. It’s also unclear if the scope for Playables will go beyond basic titles at this stage.
“Gaming has long been a focus at YouTube,” a company spokesman said in a statement. “We’re always experimenting with new features, but have nothing to announce right now.”

Google Messages is releasing a new beta update, introducing a new blocking feature to improve user privacy. This update allows users to avoid seeing messages from blocked contacts in group chats for a better experience.
Previously, if you blocked someone, their messages would still be visible in group chats. According to the information via AndroidAuthority, the new feature changes this by hiding these messages to ensure a more private chat experience.
Once you block an individual, their messages will no longer mess up your group chat view. However, it’s important to note that while you won’t see messages from blocked individuals, they can still see yours in the group chat.
When the new Blocking feature is in use, Google Messages will alert you with a notification if messages from a blocked contact are hidden in group chats. This ensures you’re aware of why certain messages may not be appearing in group chats.
