Thanks to a new feature from YouTube, you will soon be able to see which parts of a particular video are the most popular among viewers. YouTube will show this via graphs above the progress bar. The higher this graph, the more viewers showed interest in that portion of the video.
Highlights of videos
While ‘scrolling’ or ‘swyping’ through a video, you will soon see graphs, or ‘highlight waves’ as we have labeled it in the editors, with the most repeated parts of a video. If this wave is high, then this portion of a video has been watched many times. With these waves, YouTube wants to ensure that you can quickly find the highlights from a relevant video. And making it easier for you to find the content in a video that interests you the most.
Let’s take an example. Suppose you watch the recap of AC Milan’s football match against Atalanta Bergamo on YouTube. In this video you can see AC Milan scoring in the 56th minute, minute 5:15 of the video. Many people will only go to this section of the video. At that point the wave will therefore be high. This allows new viewers of video to see which parts of this football game are most important. Or you will see in the highlight wave immediately when Dimitry’s package is stolen, in our video review of the Eufy Video Doorbell Dual.
Who’s stealing Dimitry’s package here? See it in our video!
Highlight waves?
YouTube’s new feature became launched yesterday and will be available on desktop, iOS and Android. It will appear in some videos first, and will appear in more videos over time. At the moment, not everyone in our editors sees the new function in YouTube.
YouTube itself speaks of charts, but in this case we are talking about peak waves. In an image below you can see what the ‘graph’ will look like. A kind of semi-transparent waves on the progress bar.
But maybe you also have a good name for the new chart in YouTube’s progress bar? Let us know in the comments below this article.
