YouTube is improving its search capabilities by adding video previews, increasing global accessibility, and experimenting with search results.
This YouTube SEO Secret Will Skyrocket Your Views!
The announcement, made on YouTube's news blog and reported by CNET, explains how the new features "will help people more easily search and find content on YouTube."
The first change is that users can preview the video they are about to watch on the YouTube mobile app. A video creator can add timestamped images that represent the different topics in their video, allowing users to decide whether they are interested. Users can also jump directly to a specific part of the video if that is a section they are most interested in.
The mobile search page will also play a snippet of the video. This snippet feature is already available on desktop, where users can scroll over a video to watch a portion.
