Making it the top streaming app ever with YouTube at the forefront. It regularly releases new features to improve customers’ experience of the platform. Recently YouTube added a Mini Player and other features, which are not critical were introduced into the app for testing.
The first revision adds a new YouTube mini-player option. The improvement is made in the possibility of adjusting the size of the video window within the scope of the application. This feature also provided the interaction that consist of a play/pause button and 15 second back/shuffle button for video watching.
The next improvement offers a way to set how fast the videos are played. The speed can be varied automatically by using a slider and that feature can be easily accessed. A refinement is made over the original design in that it does not require speed change increments of only 0.25x.
The other feature is the newly included Sleep Timer mode. Enables users to pause videos after a particular range of time, for instance, 10- 60 minutes. They can also have a viewing extension in 10-minute intervals for more flexibility in their use.
Finally, YouTube launched issuing subscriber loyalty badges for the users of the channel. These are loyalty badges and can be found on YouTube and the YouTube Music platforms. They are being launched slowly on Android, iOS, and via the web interface.
Through these updates, the company reemphasizes its stance on enhancing users’ experiences on the site. It just gives viewers a little more say in the matter of what they would like to watch on their streaming app.
