YouTube always has introduced features to make them even more coherent and user-friendly. New features added to YouTube are designed to help the users to identify the most popular parts of the video they are watching right now. A few days prior they launched these inclusions in their application. And some features are under process and will be launched once they pass the various application tests. With these already implemented features along with some soon-to-be-launched features you will be able to enjoy YouTube better and in more effective ways. Premium members can avail these new features on YouTube's new section.
1. Most replayed parts of the video
While scrolling through YouTube in your leisure or in need there will be graphs showing the frequently played and replayed parts of the video. If the graph is high then this part is the most popular section of the video. Before launching this feature the app has tested the feature on various video players in the past few months.
2. Get to know about specific sections with video chapters
The video chapter was launched back in 2020. This feature provides the ‘skip intro’ concept delivered by various OTT platforms. As a video maker, you can break your video up and allow your audience to jump forward to another section. And this feature was implemented in over 20 million videos by far within the last two years. And now this feature can be seen on various devices including Smart TVs and gaming consoles.
Tips for video content creator
If you are a YouTube content creator then apply this feature to your longer videos. According to the experimental data of YouTube, adding chapter information on a long-running video ensures and increases the average watch time of the video.
3. Single Loops
This feature was a much-needed aspect for YouTube music content or educational content. Autoplay of the next video was introduced many years back and this new feature will make sure that you as an audience can enjoy your favorite video over and over again. Premium subscribers can enjoy the video in loops with this feature.
4. Skip to the part where the video is most interesting
Soon they will be testing a new feature that will make the viewers know the best part of the video. Only premium members will be provided this service. You can long-press on the video to skip between video chapters or double-tap with two fingers to jump to the most popular part of the video. The feature will be available on YouTube’s new segment very soon.
5. Elevated Full-screen mode feature
In the previous features while you are playing a video on full-screen that shows video information along with play pause buttons. In this new feature, you will be able to see a panel that will hold video descriptions, video chapters, comments, etc. Along with quick action buttons for you to like, dislike, comment, and share the video or add it to a playlist without coming out of the full-screen mode.
The basic motive behind these features is to elevate the overall experience of YouTube. You can easily skip any boring part. From YouTube tutorials, DIY to educational services can be much easier to follow. Or if you are a game enthusiast and watching a gaming video you can skip to the best footage of the video. You can also locate the viral segment of the video.
And subtle gray graphs can scrub through the progress bar; these features will first be available to premium subscribers. And according to YouTube, a few more features will be tested for premium members via YouTube.com/New website from their PC, iOS, and Android platforms.
