The new application has been “completely redesigned to make the most of Windows Phone 8 features” according to the official post on the Microsoft blog. If you haven’t received the notification, or it’s not shwing the update yet, you can download it below.
According to Microsoft users can now “Pin videos, playlists, channels, and even search queries to Start as Live Tiles for fast access. The tile flips to show either the latest video from your subscriptions or the most popular one”. There is also a new playlist design allowing you to browse through and selecet video using a “touch-friendly filmstrip”.
