00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.769
Fellow streaming aficionados, peacock is here, let's 

2
00:00:02.789 --> 00:00:12.499
walk through the app together. [ MUSIC ] What is a 

3
00:00:12.499 --> 00:00:15.919
peacock anyway? Well, I'm not talking about the bird 

4
00:00:16.099 --> 00:00:19.869
with the extremely obnoxious [ UNKNOWN ] 

5
00:00:19.869 --> 00:00:22.459
And the pretty feathers. No, no, no, no, no, no. This is 

6
00:00:22.459 --> 00:00:25.879
the peacock at the new streaming service from NBC 

7
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.219
Universal. And if you're wondering how I know what a 

8
00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:30.829
peacock sounds like, it's because my high school is 

9
00:00:30.849 --> 00:00:34.189
surrounded by peacock farm. It was very loud every 

10
00:00:34.189 --> 00:00:38.269
morning. I know. I know. I know another 

11
00:00:38.269 --> 00:00:41.989
streaming [ LAUGH ] Surface I'm exhausted too, but 

12
00:00:41.989 --> 00:00:46.069
this one is a big one. Specifically, it's because 

13
00:00:46.129 --> 00:00:50.417
of what NBC Universal can offer you, which is a 

14
00:00:50.417 --> 00:00:54.589
ton of iconic back catalogue. You've got cheers, 

15
00:00:54.749 --> 00:00:58.129
Frasier, Alfred Hitchcock presents Battlestar Galactica, 

16
00:00:58.129 --> 00:01:00.429
30rock, Parks and recreation. They are all here. With 

17
00:01:00.429 --> 00:01:04.499
two huge exceptions, which we'll 

18
00:01:04.529 --> 00:01:08.589
get to, so how much well people actually has a 

19
00:01:08.589 --> 00:01:11.407
free option. There's no strings attached. So they say 

20
00:01:11.407 --> 00:01:14.869
it's a limited selection but you can Can't access the 

21
00:01:14.869 --> 00:01:17.609
App without a credit card, you just need an email 

22
00:01:17.609 --> 00:01:21.479
address, that's it. peacock premium is $ 5 a month, 

23
00:01:21.479 --> 00:01:24.879
and opens up more content, and then there is a super 

24
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.989
dupa peacock premium plus subscription. That's full 

25
00:01:28.039 --> 00:01:32.139
access, almost add free, almost, and we'll send 

26
00:01:32.139 --> 00:01:36.449
you back $ 10 a month. That been said cool, let's 

27
00:01:36.449 --> 00:01:40.029
walk through the App I'm using an Apple TV, here on 

28
00:01:40.029 --> 00:01:43.409
the main Apple TV page for peacock. I am going to 

29
00:01:43.469 --> 00:01:47.579
open it. I'm ready. I've downloaded it. We're 

30
00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:51.409
doing all the things. Alright, so I want to sign up to 

31
00:01:51.409 --> 00:01:54.727
watch for free I can do that. I'm going to sign in. Don't 

32
00:01:54.727 --> 00:01:58.789
steal my password nerds. And here it 

33
00:01:58.789 --> 00:02:02.359
is the landing page for the peacock app on Apple TV. 

34
00:02:02.899 --> 00:02:05.649
We are starting out on the Browse tab, which is pretty 

35
00:02:05.649 --> 00:02:08.909
interesting considering the Channels and Trending tabs 

36
00:02:09.079 --> 00:02:12.459
are the two tabs right before that one. And then of 

37
00:02:12.459 --> 00:02:14.399
course you have your standard TV shows, Movies, 

38
00:02:14.399 --> 00:02:18.289
Kids, News, Sports, Latino, all the things that you're 

39
00:02:18.289 --> 00:02:22.389
used to seeing in a streaming platform app. So we've 

40
00:02:22.389 --> 00:02:24.799
got 30 Rock. Let's look at the browse section a little 

41
00:02:24.799 --> 00:02:28.909
bit. Peacock pics. Okay, so we've got Downton Abbey, 

42
00:02:29.299 --> 00:02:32.109
Everybody Hates Chris, Parks and Rec Project Blue 

43
00:02:32.109 --> 00:02:36.279
Book. I mean there's a lot again, lots of iconic, 

44
00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:39.699
iconic shows. But also some stuff that maybe you 

45
00:02:39.859 --> 00:02:42.989
haven't seen before, which is part of the reason why 

46
00:02:42.989 --> 00:02:45.979
NBC Universal library is so appealing to so many 

47
00:02:45.979 --> 00:02:50.339
people. It is vast featured films, Phantom thread. 

48
00:02:50.679 --> 00:02:53.819
Love the rotten tomatoes integration here that is really 

49
00:02:53.819 --> 00:02:57.329
really cool. So you can immediately decide if you want 

50
00:02:57.329 --> 00:02:59.769
to watch something or not based on its rotten tomatoes 

51
00:02:59.769 --> 00:03:03.989
score. And then you've got some originals. So, peacock 

52
00:03:04.019 --> 00:03:08.279
actually has launched with a pretty limited selection of 

53
00:03:08.279 --> 00:03:11.999
originals because of the COVID- 19 pandemic. 

54
00:03:12.119 --> 00:03:15.924
production is not exactly booming right now. So I think 

55
00:03:15.924 --> 00:03:19.059
we're gonna see a lot more here. But these are the 

56
00:03:19.109 --> 00:03:22.389
peacock originals that were able to make it into the 

57
00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:26.589
app launch. So, Lots of different stuff binge 100 plus 

58
00:03:26.679 --> 00:03:30.829
hours for free. So I really like these category names. 

59
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.299
I'm just now going through them for the first time. I 

60
00:03:33.329 --> 00:03:37.542
think that is a great idea. This is to say, hey, you 

61
00:03:37.542 --> 00:03:40.519
got a lot of time on your hands? We can fill it. And that 

62
00:03:40.519 --> 00:03:43.119
is super smart on their part. I think Peacock is doing a 

63
00:03:43.119 --> 00:03:46.259
really smart thing here by saying Look, it's free and it's 

64
00:03:46.309 --> 00:03:49.689
over 100 hours of this one show. Like here's here's 

65
00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:51.859
what you can watch and it tells you how many seasons 

66
00:03:51.859 --> 00:03:55.834
it has. You know million dollar listing la if I wanna watch 

67
00:03:55.834 --> 00:03:59.739
a show and cry about how I'm never afford a house in 

68
00:03:59.739 --> 00:04:03.129
proper Los Angeles. I can watch over 100 hours of 

69
00:04:03.129 --> 00:04:07.959
that. Yay. Then you have your true 

70
00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:12.059
crime always on road to Tokyo so this is 

71
00:04:12.059 --> 00:04:15.879
Olympic coverage. Don't forget NBC Universal has the 

72
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.499
rights to the Tokyo Olympics. Yeah so upgrade to 

73
00:04:19.499 --> 00:04:21.939
watch it all. They tell you what you can upgrade to 

74
00:04:22.599 --> 00:04:26.289
what you're missing out on as it were. Sci Fi of course. 

75
00:04:26.289 --> 00:04:29.069
You've got all sorts Of really good categories here. So 

76
00:04:29.129 --> 00:04:33.369
that is the Browse section. So if you're really looking 

77
00:04:33.369 --> 00:04:36.419
for a huge back catalogue again, Peacock, pretty much 

78
00:04:36.419 --> 00:04:39.769
has you covered here. TV shows, obviously we know 

79
00:04:39.769 --> 00:04:42.579
what that means. Let's check out movies. You've got 

80
00:04:42.629 --> 00:04:46.409
the Bourne Identity, again, huge blockbuster films. 

81
00:04:46.489 --> 00:04:48.809
They're gonna want to put those up front and center 

82
00:04:48.809 --> 00:04:52.179
here to show you how appealing their services in the 

83
00:04:52.289 --> 00:04:55.749
kids section you've got, again, lots of different choices, 

84
00:04:56.559 --> 00:04:59.939
news, you've got that. So you've got your Nightly News, 

85
00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:02.189
you've got documentary headlines, so those are 

86
00:05:02.209 --> 00:05:05.619
actually shorter little sort of quick I don't want to say 

87
00:05:05.619 --> 00:05:08.619
quick bites because that's a kwibi. Apparently that's 

88
00:05:08.619 --> 00:05:11.969
taken now. So like sort of quick videos under three 

89
00:05:11.969 --> 00:05:15.309
minutes or so that are going to give you sort of a little 

90
00:05:15.349 --> 00:05:17.339
summary of a news story that's happening during the 

91
00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:22.279
day. In the sports tab. They have these originals 

92
00:05:23.109 --> 00:05:25.729
which I think is great. I think it's important to have 

93
00:05:25.729 --> 00:05:29.799
sports originals. I love 30 for 30 on ESPN. So 

94
00:05:30.049 --> 00:05:32.959
Peacock is going that same route. They're gonna say 

95
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.259
okay, we're gonna also make originals so we have In 

96
00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:40.159
Deep with Ryan Lochte, we've got Lost Speedways with 

97
00:05:40.189 --> 00:05:43.199
Dale Earnhardt, Jr ., Premier League, top sports 

98
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.939
stories, again The Road to Tokyo, very important for 

99
00:05:45.939 --> 00:05:48.399
them. Now that we're done with the sports tab, let's 

100
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.699
check out the Latino tab. There's a lot of interesting 

101
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:55.509
things happening in the Latino tab. So peacock says it's 

102
00:05:55.509 --> 00:06:00.109
launching with about 15, 000 hours of content on its 

103
00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:04.259
service. But 3000 of those hours are Telemundo 

104
00:06:04.329 --> 00:06:07.099
produced original programming. So you're going to 

105
00:06:07.149 --> 00:06:09.829
find original Spanish language series here. You're also 

106
00:06:10.369 --> 00:06:14.259
gonna find your standard subtitled English language 

107
00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:17.149
movies and television shows like Shrek. We can see it's 

108
00:06:17.149 --> 00:06:21.189
right here, Fast and Furious, but a really 

109
00:06:21.189 --> 00:06:25.259
impressive outing for Peacock and its Spanish language 

110
00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:29.249
offerings. And I'm really excited to see how much they 

111
00:06:29.249 --> 00:06:33.529
continue to expand on that in this tab, so nice job 

112
00:06:33.529 --> 00:06:36.644
Good job there, peacock. Okay, so we've browsed all 

113
00:06:36.644 --> 00:06:38.319
the different tabs, we know what they're about, let's 

114
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:44.269
check out channels, channels is live broadcast 

115
00:06:44.609 --> 00:06:48.839
in sort of by franchisor IP and unfortunately 

116
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.559
HDCP limitations are going to keep me from capturing 

117
00:06:52.989 --> 00:06:55.429
what is being broadcast right now, but we can look at 

118
00:06:55.429 --> 00:06:59.054
the channels. So we've got today all day. SNL vault if 

119
00:06:59.054 --> 00:07:01.989
you love Saturday Night Live. Office Shorts, Keeping Up 

120
00:07:01.989 --> 00:07:04.759
With The Kardashians, if that's what you're into. Fallon 

121
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.259
tonight, Seth Meyers now, all sorts of stuff that you're 

122
00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:11.029
gonna be able to watch and it's running all the time 

123
00:07:11.149 --> 00:07:13.829
live. So it's not on demand. This is something that 

124
00:07:13.829 --> 00:07:16.459
you'd be kind of waiting for. Here's the thing that's 

125
00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:19.029
running. Now that we've seen channels, let's hit 

126
00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:22.389
trending. The trending tab is a very interesting thing in 

127
00:07:22.389 --> 00:07:26.309
peacock because not only is it gonna show you some 

128
00:07:26.419 --> 00:07:30.499
brand new original series or movie that peacock wants 

129
00:07:30.499 --> 00:07:33.239
you to watch and get really invested in. It's also gonna 

130
00:07:34.089 --> 00:07:38.619
show you clips from shows from news, 

131
00:07:39.059 --> 00:07:42.919
a series from. You know, late night television, I mean, 

132
00:07:42.979 --> 00:07:46.409
you're going to see all kinds of content in here. And I'm 

133
00:07:46.429 --> 00:07:50.089
really curious if peacock and NBC Universal is going to 

134
00:07:50.119 --> 00:07:53.919
use this tab and curate it based on your specific 

135
00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:58.259
viewing habits and the things that you're into, or if 

136
00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.929
it's going to be sort of a general. Here's what's 

137
00:08:00.929 --> 00:08:05.199
trending. In America right now, enjoy. But I 

138
00:08:06.029 --> 00:08:08.346
guess time is gonna tell on that one. So who knows, I 

139
00:08:08.346 --> 00:08:12.393
should mention. As an aside, if you open 

140
00:08:12.393 --> 00:08:16.729
the peacock app, on your iPhone, or on your phone, 

141
00:08:17.929 --> 00:08:22.439
the first tab that it sends you too is the trending tab. It 

142
00:08:22.459 --> 00:08:25.249
doesn't send you to the Browse tab, which is an 

143
00:08:25.329 --> 00:08:29.719
interesting choice. And it's very clear that NBC 

144
00:08:29.719 --> 00:08:33.154
Universal feels like when you're on your phone, you're 

145
00:08:33.154 --> 00:08:36.679
going to want sort of things that are hot. Get me the 

146
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.889
information. I want to just watch something quick and 

147
00:08:39.889 --> 00:08:43.479
run That's right there for you. They know that they 

148
00:08:43.479 --> 00:08:46.349
want you to go to that trending tab. But when you're 

149
00:08:46.349 --> 00:08:49.769
watching on a television set, they want you to watch a 

150
00:08:49.769 --> 00:08:52.789
longer form content. So they're gonna put you up to. 

151
00:08:52.789 --> 00:08:56.889
To the browse tab, which again like that's a really 

152
00:08:57.009 --> 00:08:59.989
smart decision. There are a few things that aren't 

153
00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:03.129
available in Peacock yet though and here they are. 

154
00:09:03.309 --> 00:09:07.369
One, no 4K support, yikes! Two, no 

155
00:09:07.369 --> 00:09:10.059
profiles, which means you can't separate what you're 

156
00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:12.779
watching versus someone else in your household. Some 

157
00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:15.349
people really love that, I think it's an important feature 

158
00:09:15.349 --> 00:09:19.029
and worth mentioning. And three No support yet for 

159
00:09:19.029 --> 00:09:22.714
Roku or Amazon Fire TV devices. So if you have one of 

160
00:09:22.714 --> 00:09:24.679
those and you're hoping to check out Peacock, you're 

161
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.719
out of luck until further notice. So there you have 

162
00:09:28.719 --> 00:09:33.699
it, a basic walk through of the main tabs and options 

163
00:09:33.699 --> 00:09:36.572
that you have in the NBC Universal Peacock streaming 

164
00:09:36.572 --> 00:09:40.409
service app. I think it's really compelling. I think NBC 

165
00:09:40.409 --> 00:09:43.009
Universal offering a free account with no strings 

166
00:09:43.069 --> 00:09:46.969
attached or trial period is brilliant, to be honest 

167
00:09:46.969 --> 00:09:50.364
because they're banking on everybody signing up. And 

168
00:09:50.364 --> 00:09:53.339
then at some point, a percentage of those people 

169
00:09:53.339 --> 00:09:57.039
going, I think this is worth $ 5 a month or I think this is 

170
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.089
worth $ 10 a month and they're also hoping that you 

171
00:10:00.089 --> 00:10:02.859
dump. One of your other streaming services in order to 

172
00:10:02.859 --> 00:10:06.969
pay for it. So, I think it's really smart. It's really, 

173
00:10:06.969 --> 00:10:10.559
really smart because Who among us has not signed up 

174
00:10:10.599 --> 00:10:13.819
for a free trial of a streaming platform, watched 

175
00:10:13.999 --> 00:10:16.179
whatever it is that everybody was talking about that 

176
00:10:16.469 --> 00:10:20.278
week, we binged it, and then we're like, I don't need, I 

177
00:10:20.278 --> 00:10:23.909
don't need that subscription anymore. So really smart 

178
00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:27.459
on their part. I think the UI is. Beautiful. I'm really 

179
00:10:27.459 --> 00:10:29.699
looking forward to digging in deep and seeing what 

180
00:10:29.699 --> 00:10:32.572
exactly, is available to me as a free user and what is 

181
00:10:32.572 --> 00:10:36.579
not available to me as a free user. We will see how 

182
00:10:36.579 --> 00:10:40.169
that goes. I am very curious as to what you guys think 

183
00:10:40.349 --> 00:10:43.399
of peacock Did you sign up? Are you going to do it? Are 

184
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.599
you not interested at all? Are you going to wait until 

185
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.544
maybe Olympic coverage ramps up or sports comes 

186
00:10:49.544 --> 00:10:52.079
back? Let me know down in the comments and until 

187
00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:53.749
next time, biggest streamers
