YouTube experiments with double-tap to quickly find the most interesting moments in videos

The popular entertainment platform YouTube is currently conducting a limited experiment with a new feature that could make video viewing even more convenient. According to reports, YouTube is testing a double-tap feature to quickly jump to the most interesting parts of a video.

Here's What We Know

As part of this experiment, Premium subscribers from the US have been given the opportunity to try out a new feature that allows them to skip to the most interesting parts of a video with a double tap. This feature uses artificial intelligence to select the most engaging video segments based on user behaviour and views.

While this update can significantly save viewers time, there are some concerns about its impact on content creators. There is a possibility that when viewers use this new tool, they may skip adverts or other important parts of the video. This could affect the creators' revenue and popularity. However, YouTube is still testing the feature to see how it works and what users think about it.

If the test is successful, it's possible that this feature will be coming to the stable version of YouTube for Android.
