JAKARTA - YouTube is introducing several new features to improve the search experience. The company says the move is intended to make it easier for users to find the content they're looking for in the app.
Compiled from The Verge, Thursday, August 19, the new feature is the display of chapters directly from search results. YouTube has offered the ability for users to break up longer videos into separate chapters, so that users can quickly find specific information. However, they are only visible when the user clicks on them.
Currently, chapters will appear next to the search results, via thumbnail thumbnails for each section. This feature will give users more insight into the content in each video, and users can right-click to a specific chapter if they find the exact info they are looking for.
Not only that, YouTube will also use Google Search for content searches. If users don't find the video they're looking for, YouTube will serve content from other websites based on Google searches.
Furthermore, another new feature coming to mobile devices is a small video snippet that plays automatically when the user hovers the mouse over the desktop. YouTube says it will soon be rolling out a version of this preview on smartphones, though it's not clear exactly what gestures will be used to make the trailer play.
Another change is that YouTube will display videos in foreign languages, if they can't find what they're looking for in the local language. This means that YouTube will automatically translate the text, title and description according to the language the user is looking for. For now, YouTube only embeds English.
It looks like global users will have to wait longer, because this feature is currently only being tested on mobile devices in India and Indonesia. The platform with the white and red logo also said it would consider expanding to more locations based on user feedback.
The English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and French versions are automatically generated by the AI. So there may still be inaccuracies in translating, please always see Indonesian as our main language. (system supported by DigitalSiber.id)
