Popular video-sharing website YouTube has added a tool which automatically blurs out the faces of people appearing in uploaded video clips.
Google bought YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion and has yet to disclose whether the service has turned a profit.
YouTube has gradually added professional content, such as full-length television shows and movies to its vast trove of amateur video offerings in a bid to attract advertisers.
YouTube confirmed early this year that its evolution as an Internet stage for video may include subscriptions to content that creators expect people would pay to watch.
"We have long maintained that different content requires different types of payment models," a YouTube spokesman told AFP.
"There are a lot of our content creators that think they would benefit from subscriptions, so we're looking at that."
YouTube's layout showcasing television-style channels sets the stage for film or television studios to create pay channels on the service.
The video-sharing service says it is trying to "marry the best of TV and the best of online."
