These new YouTube Features will be updated before the beginning of 2025
I’ve created a video to tell you all about the latest features that will be added to YouTube in 2024.
The 7 New Features that will be added to the platform
YouTube will add the following features to the platform:
1. Fine-tunable Playback Speed: YouTube is introducing the ability to adjust playback speed in precise increments of 0.05, giving viewers more control over how they watch content.
2. Enhanced Browsing: New improvements in landscape mode (coming to iOS) include larger thumbnails, bigger text, and smoother browsing, designed to make YouTube more visually appealing and easier to navigate.
3. Improved Miniplayer: The mobile app’s miniplayer now allows viewers to resize and move it around while browsing YouTube, perfect for multitasking while watching videos.
4. Collaborative Playlists: You can now invite friends and family to build playlists together via a link or QR code (coming to TV). Customization tools like adding personal or AI-generated thumbnails are also introduced, and later this year, viewers will be able to vote on videos in playlists, enhancing interactivity.
5. Sleep Timer: YouTube’s new Sleep Timer lets users set a time limit on videos, automatically pausing content when the timer runs out—a handy feature for those who watch videos before bed.
6. Badges for Achievements: YouTube is adding badges to celebrate milestones like being an early channel member, completing quizzes, or being a top fan. These badges will be displayed in the “You” tab, and more types will be rolled out in the coming weeks.
7. YouTube on TV: TV users will experience visual enhancements with a more cinematic feel, including pops of color and an upgraded interface for Shorts. There will also be immersive channel pages where videos start playing automatically, giving viewers a preview of creators’ content.
These updates aim to enhance both the viewer and creator experience across web, mobile, TV, and YouTube Music.
