YouTube has started rolling out a new update that adds multiple changes to the video player on this video streaming platform. According to TechCrunch, the Google-owned video service has received a new feature that will help users to identify the most popular parts of the video they’re watching. The company has revealed that the new update will add a graph on each video that can be used to easily locate and watch the most replayed parts of a video. This new feature can be helpful, especially for longer videos and the ones that are not divided into various sections — using either timestamps or video chapters.
YouTube’s ‘most replayed’ feature availability
Initially, the most replayed portion of the videos feature was available only for YouTube Premium subscribers who were able to access this feature from YouTube.com/New. However, the company has announced that this feature will now be available to all YouTube users — both free and Premium and will be accessible across desktop, iOS and Android platforms.
How will this new feature help users?
Youtube has added a graph to its video player to show the most replayed parts of a video. This graph is designed for users to quickly go through any YouTube video by watching only the most interesting parts. Creators usually divide their longer videos into segments, chapters or links to select parts through timestamps. However, these segments might not always correlate to where chapters or timestamps are located which tends to happen mostly when a certain segment in a video goes viral.
Moreover, this feature is expected to help users to point out the most important parts of tutorial videos and will also direct users straight to the segment that has the most action, for example, the most-watched part of a gamer’s video.
Now, YouTube users will be able to see a grey graph while scrubbing through the video using the red playback progress bar. The company claims that wherever the graph is high, that area will depict the part(s) of the video that has been replayed many times. The thumbnail over the progress bar will also notify users when they hit the segment that has been “Most replayed.”
Other features released by YouTube
Apart from the most replayed feature, Youtube’s new update also adds support for video chapters. Initially, the company launched this segmenting tool in May 2020 for smart TVs and gaming consoles.
How does YouTube’s Chapter tool work?
Youtube’s Chapter tool allows users to jump forward to a particular section of a video or even rewatch that section. YouTube claims that the chapters in videos on the platform can be automatically generated and also notes that this tool has been added to nearly 20 million videos since its debut.
What is YouTube’s Single Loop feature?
The Google-owned platform has also added a new feature called Single Loop that will allow users to put a single video on endless repeat. Users will be able to use this option from the same menu used to adjust video quality, turn on captions and more.
Changes added to the full-screen mode on YouTube
A new panel will also appear in the full-screen mode that will display some information about the video including — the video description, video chapters and comments. The full-screen mode will also allow users to access quick action buttons such as — like, dislike, comment, share or add a video to a playlist directly from the mode.
Other changes teased by YouTube
Apart from the above-mentioned features, YouTube has also teased some features that will soon be available to its users. The company announced that it will begin another new experiment that will allow users to seek the exact moment in a video that they want to watch. This feature will also be initially made available to Premium subscribers through the YouTube.com/New website.
