Google launches YouTube Music app on the Apple Watch

Source: Google

As Google is set to shut down Play Music later this month, the company makes sure those few YouTube Music subscribers on iOS can have access to its service. The YouTube Music app is available on the Apple Watch. It's mostly access to the essentials, turning your Apple Watch into a music remote. But you can do things like browsing your music collection, controlling playback, and "Like" tracks. 

There's a complication that adds playback controls to the watch face, but not all watch faces support this feature. It will also let you cast a song from your phone to a speaker and even get recommendations based on your listening habits. It works similar to how Spotify's Apple Watch app works. You'll need at least a Series 3 or above running on watchOS 6 or above to use the app. And yes, you need an active YouTube Premium or YouTube Premium Music subscription, too.

Zoom's OnZoom service lets you host, monetize online events

Zoom is looking to capitalize on the trend of online classes and workshops hosted on its app with a new service it's beta testing. OnZoom will allow paid Zoom users to host and monetize the online events they hold. It works similar to apps like Eventbrite and Meetup. If you're an attendee, you can look up workshops, classes, and events to check out. You pay via credit card or PayPal directly to Zoom, and you have the option to gift tickets to others.

Zoom says it won't take a cut from the ticket sales while the service is in beta, which the company expects to run at least until the end of the year.
