Sky Glass customers will be able to voice search via YouTube and watch the biggest sporting events at home thanks to a series of new updates.
Glass launched last October and relies on a broadband connection to bring its services to homes, rather than a satellite dish or TV box. Coming in three sizes and three colours, it's the only QLED TV to have Sky inside, and since its launch Sky have made regular updates to the TV, including adding Apple TV+ and new fascias.
Most recently, Sky have added more updates to the TV to make customers' experiences even better and easier. YouTube is being integrated into the voice search and the launch of Sky Sports Box Office means users will be able to watch the biggest fights at home.

Sports fans can cheer, as the home of the best pay-per-view sporting entertainment Sky Sports Box Office is now on Sky Glass, meaning fans can watch some of the biggest fights in the comfort of their own home. Sky Sports Box Office will be the only place – in the UK and Ireland - to watch the much-anticipated Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua rematch on August 20, 2022.
Glass customers can now also easily search the whole of YouTube with their voice, straight from the Sky Glass UI. Simply say what you want to find, like “Hello Sky, Late Night Talking on YouTube” for Harry Styles’ newly-released video or “Hello Sky, Mr Beast on YouTube” and be taken to straight to the search results page in the YouTube app.
Users can do the same for Netflix content too by saying “Hello Sky, Persuasion on Netflix”, and the good news is this voice update will be coming to more apps soon.
Glass owners will also no longer need to struggle to remember or keep track of multiple passwords for BBC apps. Users now only need to log in once, meaning if you sign into BBC Sounds or BBC iPlayer you’ll be automatically signed into the other. Making your sign-in experience as seamless and hassle-free as possible.
Curating your perfect Playlist on Sky Glass has just got easier too, as users can now use the ‘+’ button to quickly remove anything they don’t want with just one click. Plus, Sky has added nine new channels including Colors HD, Colors Rishtey, Colors Gujrati, Bloomberg, NBC News Now, GB News, TalkTV, Zee TV, Zee Cinema with more to come.
