Google has begun testing a new feature on comments added to YouTube. This feature allows users to add comments to a moment of the video. It is currently unknown when the feature, which has begun testing on Android and iOS versions of the app, will arrive in the stable version.
US-based tech giant Google has begun testing a new feature on the Android and iOS versions of YouTube, the world’s most popular online video app. This feature, which will interest users who also like to read comments while watching a video, seems to allow you to understand how many seconds the most important place about a video is.
This feature, which Google has started testing, is actually well known to consumers using a music platform called SoundCloud. So much so that a user could add a comment to a specific second of a song on Soundcloud and share it publicly. That’s exactly what YouTube’s upcoming feature serves. A user who comments for a specific second of a video that they are watching will inform other users of what happened in that second.
YouTube’s new feature is being tested with a limited audience of users
YouTube’s upcoming new feature is currently being tested with a very limited audience of users. In fact, this audience of users is so limited that even a particularly relevant screenshot could not be obtained. The Android Police team, who said they could only see the feature once, created a montaged image to show it. Accordingly, we can say that the representative representation of the property is;
According to the findings made by Android Police, this feature, which is in the testing stage, can be accessed through comment filters. Users who can sort comments based on their added date or popularity under current conditions will be able to view comments added By timeline with the release of this feature. For example, in the representative image above, a user commented that there was an explosion at 3:42. And when we look at the background, we can easily see that explosion.
Google has not made an official statement regarding the particular one being tested on YouTube. In other words, it is not known at this time when this feature will be available, whether it will be limited to mobile versions or whether it will also come to the web version. But we can already say that this feature will offer a different experience for many users.
