YouTube Testing 'Jump Ahead' for Easier Video Navigation
Imagine you're watching your favorite YouTube podcast, but suddenly, the conversation veers into "annoying land." You just want to skip ahead to where things get interesting again. Well, good news! Android Headlines has reported that YouTube is testing a new feature called Jump Ahead, designed to make skipping ahead easier.
Currently, Jump Ahead is only available to a small group of users as part of a testing phase. It's an experimental feature, so only folks with YouTube Premium subscriptions can access it for now.
If you're eager to try out similar new features, you can head to YouTube's experiment page. Alternatively, in the YouTube app, navigate to your profile picture > Settings > Try Experimental features.
Like other experimental features, Jump Ahead will only be available for a limited time.
But what exactly does Jump Ahead offer? Well, when you double-tap to skip ahead in a video, YouTube will present you with options to jump to specific sections. These sections are determined based on user data. So, if lots of users are skipping to a particular part of the video, it'll be recommended as a jump spot.
Right now, the experimental feature is only on a select few videos. As with any experimental feature, it's unclear if or when it will become official. We'll keep you updated as we learn more, so stay tuned!
