Categories

This tab will begin not only showing the most popular content on YouTube but also contain shortcuts to popular categories such as Gaming, Music, Fashion & Beauty, Learning and others.

It’s worth noting there’s no way to create custom destination pages and that the list of pre-made categories isn’t comprehensive. YouTube is planning to add more over time.
