YouTube sends one of its news to other devices

When we recall the most interesting and practical features that YouTube platform developers have sent to the world in recent months, somewhere at the top of the imaginary list will definitely be split the slider for videos into timed chapters. A great helper for precise scrolling between parts of instructions, narratives, cuts or artistic performances now, when introduced into mobile applications, it goes to other devices.

An official YouTube account on Twitter said that the handy feature is now available for “newer smart TVs and game consoles”. Unfortunately, without more precise mention of any models or brands, but since in the vast majority of cases it will be the distribution of the same version of the application, the extension could be really big.

We’re rolling out video chapters on newer Smart TVs 📺 and gaming consoles 🎮 to make it easier for you to jump to moments you’re most interested in! Info: https://t.co/spp8igwuPh

Recently released chapters are in YouTube videos created using timestampswhich the author inserts in the description. Based on these values, the sections that are visible directly in the scroll bar are automatically created. The viewer therefore has the opportunity to find the desired part of the video both by clicking on the time in the description and by clicking precisely on the bottom line.

How do the new chapters on YouTube help you?
