The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that YouTube is testing an internal product for playing online games, citing an email sent to employees at parent company Google.
The report said that the company invited its employees to start testing the new YouTube product called “Playables”, adding that the games available for testing included titles such as the card game Stack Bounce.
The report added that games on YouTube can be played on web browsers or via Google’s Android and iOS devices.
Gaming has long been a focus, a YouTube spokesperson said, adding that the company has been testing new features and has “nothing to announce right now.”
Hosting online games on YouTube, a popular place for users to stream games and watch live game footage, is part of CEO Neil Mohan’s push into new areas of growth amid a slowdown in ad spending, a Wall Street Journal report said.
