YouTube Tests Moodwall: Categorizes Videos with One-Word Descriptors

  • Some music services let you stream music based on mood, but how would you like to watch videos based on how you’re feeling? This is a new concept that YouTube is trying out with its Moodwall.
  • Featured on YouTube’s home page in random limited testing, the Moodwall shows a collection of video thumbnails for various categories including “funny,” “adorable” or “catchy.” The page offers users the option to “explore videos by vibe.”
  • Google gave exclusive access to various users to test out the new feature, but most feedback has been bewilderment, Mashable reports.
  • “My browse page in YouTube has been replaced with some weird page that calls itself Moodwall,” commented one user. “Does anybody [know] what is a Moodwall and how it can be removed?” asked another.
  • The post includes a 1-minute video report.
