Surprisingly, there are actually plenty of updates. Moreover, many of them are really useful and will be in demand among users. Without procrastination, let’s go through them all in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sleep timer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"Sleep<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    We are all familiar with the situation: you come home from work, turn on YouTube, and suddenly fall asleep. And bang: in the morning, your recommendations have changed because of the videos you \u201cwatched\u201d all night. To avoid such situations, YouTube introduces a sleep timer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It’s simple: you choose the time of playback and the service will automatically stop all videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. \u201cBadges\u201d for activity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"Badges<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The YouTube team has added special sticker badges that will be given to users for their activity on the creator’s channel (from the number of comments to sponsored subscriptions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We don’t know how useful it is yet, but it looks really cute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Collaborative playlists<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
        \"Collaborative<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        What we were really waiting for. Now you can share a link or QR code with a friend and share interesting content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Speaking of which, you and your friends can also choose the thumbnail for your playlist, move the order of videos and rate them. We think it’s cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. New playback speed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
          \"New<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          From today, you can select speeds in increments as small as 0.05 seconds. The natural question is: What for? In our opinion, this is a great feature for those who study foreign languages or parse videos by specific fragments (as a hobby or as a job).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          In any case, this kind of update will definitely find its fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Improved miniplayer <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"Improved<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            In the age of multitasking, being able to combine watching videos and finding new content is not a luxury, but a necessity. Now the user experience is about to get even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Viewers will be able to resize and move the miniplayer in the YouTube mobile app. All in all, very convenient and practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Also, a couple of visual changes are expected on YouTube TV and YouTube Shorts. We will actively continue to follow the news on this topic. Meanwhile, read our other articles and news in the Blog <\/a><\/strong>section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
