It is not yet known when Loop Video ”will be available to everyone on Android smartphones, but you will be able to activate it by clicking on the extended menu. This is displayed in the upper right corner of the video with three dots.

At the same time, YouTube is testing the Clip Video feature on more users. This feature allows users to create 60-second video clips from existing videos, which they can then share using another link. For example, you can show someone a short excerpt of videos you’ve been interested in lately. It is not yet known when the news will be available to all users.

But it should be available for both Android and iOS platforms. According to the leaks on Twitter, YouTube for Android TV should also be improved.
