Google is testing net tales as an alternative of YouTube movies for NFL video games

Google is testing the display of web stories instead of YouTube videos for finding NFL games. Personally, I still watch the YouTube videos, but some people, like NFL enthusiast Mordy Oberstein, watch Web Stories instead of YouTube videos.

Mordy shared this screenshot on Twitter “Looks like Google is testing Web Stories instead of YouTube videos for NFL highlights in the Sports Box!”

Here’s how it works when you click on it:

This is what the web stories look like.

I feel like this is a deliberate move by the NFL to switch Google to the format – hence the CTA to sign up for GamePass

For me, I watch the YouTube videos, but Google has shown web stories for Major League Baseball and also for cricket games, as Glenn Gabe noted:

A great format for sporty highlights. You’ve been great for baseball in the US and happy to see you expand. Here is the April announcement over Cricket BTW. https://t.co/IACej5Nndo
