Google has announced a torrent of new features for its popular video streaming platform. These are the most exciting new features coming to YouTube:
“Stable volume” offers better audio control on mobile devices. As of today, Google automatically activates “stable volume” in the settings to reduce annoying volume differences.
You can now play a video at double speed if you press anywhere on the player and hold down to automatically increase the playback speed to double. Once you reach the part of the video you want, just let go.
Accidentally tapped your finger on a video and disturbed it? To avoid that, Google is introducing the optional screen lock on phones and tablets.
YouTube also gains the ability to recognize songs playing around you. Google integrates a function for this that is reminiscent of Shazam. You sing a melody and YouTube is supposed to recognize which song.
