Microsoft is also closing the Windows Phone YouTube channel

In the wake of Microsoft transferring its official Windows Phone Facebook and Twitter pages to the new Lumia branding, the company is also closing down its official Windows Phone YouTube channel as well, in favor of a new Microsoft Lumia channel.

The Windows Phone YouTube channel has over 200,000 subscribers and quite a few video clips. It's unclear if Microsoft will move all those videos to the new Lumia channel, which at the moment doesn't have any content.

The official Nokia YouTube channel is still up and running, and still under Microsoft's control. However, we suspect that will change in the near future as posts on the Nokia Facebook and Twitter pages this week strongly hint that the Finland company will take direct control of those social networking accounts.

Do you use YouTube as a major source of information on Windows Phone devices?
