YouTube itself is not classified as IPTV , but YouTube TV —its live streaming service available in the U.S.—is a true IPTV platform. Standard YouTube is a video-sharing site where users upload and view content on demand, while IPTV specifically delivers live TV and on-demand content via internet protocols . YouTube TV offers channel-based streaming, EPGs, and DVR options, aligning it with IPTV standards. However, in regions where YouTube TV isn’t available (like the UK or India), YouTube is more of an OTT (Over-the-Top) platform than a traditional xtreme hd iptv provider. The difference lies in the content type and delivery method.
