YouTube’s also launching two long-awaited playback features: pinch-to-zoom and precise seeking. These two were first tested as experimental features with YouTube Premium subscribers, but YouTube says it received a lot of feedback suggesting that they should be made widely available. With pinch to zoom, you can zoom in and out of a video by pinching your screen (only on mobile), and the video remains zoomed in even after you release the pinch. It’s a handy feature that’ll spare you the hassle of being hands-on with getting detail out of YouTube videos.
YouTubePrecise seeking, on the other hand, is a navigation enhancement that’ll make it easy to locate exact moments in video playback. Here’s how it will work: when you drag the slider in the progress bar and swipe up, you’ll see a row of thumbnails for each frame, and you can select the exact part of the video you want to skip to. This feature builds upon earlier navigation updates on YouTube that allow you to quickly find the parts of a video you’re most interested in, like long-pressing anywhere on the player to seek and double-tapping with two fingers to skip chapters. YouTube also earlier added a graph that indicates a video’s most frequently replayed moments, and small break marks on the playback progress bar to identify video segments.
