Olwaty now gives YouTube series an OTT-style home

YouTube is great at recommending the next video, but not at helping viewers follow a connected story from beginning to end.

We’ve expanded Olwaty from a shareable series link into a series-level subscription, viewing, and analytics platform.

What’s new:

• Follow a specific series without subscribing to the entire channel

• Get notified when a new episode is added

• Continue from the last-watched episode

• Navigate seasons and episodes in the intended order

• See series-level followers and completion data

The new OTT-style layer gives each series its own home while the videos still play through YouTube.

We’d love feedback from creators who publish episodic or narrative content: what would make a YouTube series easier to follow?

The current version is live in Korean, and the screenshots below show the experience with Korean YouTube series.
