YouTube is doubling down on entertaining you during COVID-19. Like so many networks and streaming platforms, production on YouTube's original content was halted when social distancing began.
To make up for it, the company has now commissioned a whole star-studded slate of programming that will be shot remotely. This is YouTube, after all, a platform popularized by vloggers who make videos in their own homes all the time, so maybe it's not not all that surprising to see them pivoting to this.
As part of YouTube's #WithMe campaign, the shows will be informational and targeted specifically at people stuck at home during the coronavirus pandemic, aiming to educate the audience and teach them how to keep busy while quarantined.
