Subscribers to YouTube who like to watch videos quickly are in for a treat. YouTube is testing a new tool for people who pay for YouTube Premium. With the new feature, users don’t have to touch the screen several times to get to the settings gear and change the speed. Now, you only have to push the button on the movie player.
9To5Google says that YouTube Premium members can “long press anywhere on the player while watching a video to bump the playback speed to 2x automatically,” and a “playing at 2x speed” message will appear at the top of the screen.
The “Long Press to Watch at 2x” trial continues until August 13. This tool works on both the web and the YouTube app for phones.
You must be a YouTube Premium member and sign up for YouTube’s experimental new features choice to participate in the trial. At the end of every trial, after a short assessment, YouTube gives the people who took part a gift card.
When looking for a specific spot in a video, another trial that ends on August 13 shows previews on a bigger screen. Move the playback dot forward and backward to see a bigger preview.
With Lock Screen, YouTube is trying a new way to stop accidental touches while watching a video until August 5th. To use this function, tap the gear icon in the upper left corner of the screen while in full-screen mode and then tap Lock Screen. Then you can watch your movie without accidentally pausing, skipping, or doing something else to mess up your viewing.
TechCrunch found out yesterday that YouTube has been quietly adding another function. “Stabile Volume” has been talked about by a few YouTube Premium users, but the streaming service hasn’t said anything about it yet. This feature lets you make all YouTube movies sound about the same, so they all play within your chosen sound limits.
