YouTube is to launch a dedicated site and app for gaming in an attempt to take on Amazon-owned streaming service Twitch.
Twitch allows gaming fans to watch and interact with live broadcasts of others playing games.
Google – which owns YouTube – is understood to have made a bid for Twitch last year, only to be beaten by Amazon’s $970m (£620m) offer.
The search giant said the service would launch later this summer.
