YouTube is celebrating its 20th birthday with a series of new features designed to enhance user experience and engagement.
Faster Playback and Personalized Music
YouTube Premium subscribers now have access to 4x playback speed, allowing them to quickly skim through videos. Additionally, a new AI-powered feature called "Ask Music" lets Premium and YouTube Music users create personalized radio stations based on their mood.
Enhanced Comments and Multi-View
YouTube is expanding the rollout of voice replies in video comments, offering creators and viewers a more personal way to connect. YouTube TV subscribers gain a new multi-view option for select non-sports content, and the Connected TV UI is being upgraded with improved access to comments.
