Dimapur, August 17 (EMN): In a bid to help users efficiently navigate its massive library of content, YouTube is now introducing a host of new features.
One major update is that now users can view chapters of a video directly from the search results page. This should make it easier for users to jump to a specific chapter of a video that they are interested in.
Previously, YouTube users had to tap on a video and scroll through the chapters to find the exact information that they were looking for. Now with the new update, users can easily view chapters of a video on the search results page and click on the specific chapter without having to manually scroll through the entire video.
On its official blog, YouTube wrote, "Now, you’ll be able to make even more informed decisions about what you’re going to watch through video chapters directly on the search page. When available, these time-stamped images detail the different topics covered in videos and let you better evaluate the video you’re about to watch. You can also jump directly to the section most relevant to your specific interest."
Another useful feature that YouTube is introducing is the ability to show content to a user about a particular topic that is not available in their native language. Youtube wrote, "We’re starting to show search results from other languages with automatically translated captions, titles and descriptions when relevant content in the local language isn’t available."
Finally, YouTube is experimenting with adding website links and other formats directly from Google Search into the YouTube search results page. The company says that the feature is only available on mobile devices in India and Indonesia and it plans to expand to more countries based on user feedback.
