YouTube adds Google+ quick share for newly uploaded videos

Google engineer Dom Carr quietly unveiled two significant changes to how Google+ and YouTube are tied together, which are rolling out this week, The Next Web reports.

The changes make the process of sharing newly uploaded videos to Google+ easier, while increasing traffic to YouTube from profiles pages on the social network.

Users that have connected their Google+ and YouTube accounts now have the option to automatically share new uploads to the social network. All the users have to do is check the box, add a note, and watch as both of Google’s services post a video.

Meanwhile, YouTube video creators who want to promote content on their Google+ page can now easily show off all their public YouTube videos on their Google+ profile. To show the distinction, Google is renaming the “Videos” tab to “YouTube” and send people to YouTube when they click.
