The users YouTube PremiumBesides having access to YouTube and YouTube Music ad-free, offline and in the background, they also have access to new experimental features. For a limited time, subscribers are the first to try the next YouTube news before they officially reach the whole world.
And one of those experimental functions that YouTube app for mobile is testing its paid users is a very important novelty, because this will allow us find the most interesting moments in a video in a very simple way.
Find interesting moments by searching for a video
Since last summer YouTube for Android added a handy gesture that allows us to tap the screen and drag right and / or left to go to a specific point in a video, showing the image thumbnail of the current cursor position in the progress bar.
Well, the experimental function adds a graphic that will highlight the most viewed parts of the video when we cross the progress bar, also showing the most-watched moment in the video with a highlighted icon. The size of the waves in the graph will be proportional to the number of reproductions of each part of the video.
This way, we can get to the most important part of a video by simply dragging the play slider and bringing it to the highest part of the graph. Currently, this feature is only shown in some videos and will be available to YouTube Premium subscribers until January 7. If the experience is conclusive, it is already a matter of weeks before Google activates this novelty for everyone.
