New Delhi: YouTube, the Google-owned company is reportedly testing a new loop button for the app that would save users from hitting the replay button every time they want to watch something all over again. YouTube already has the loop feature for web users but this time it might roll out for smartphone users.
The feature will be initially rolled out to the Android users as YouTube was found testing it on the Android for YouTube app, the report stated. Users will get the option of turning on the loop video feature on the three-dot menu in the app.
Sometimes when you want to listen to a song or watch a video, again and again, that is where the loop feature comes to the rescue. For instance, if you want to keep listening to the song or a playlist, you can turn on the loop feature on the app. Similarly, you can also disable the feature because you do not want all the videos to start playing all over again.
Some users have reported seeing the loop video feature in their apps, but we were unable to find the feature in the latest YouTube Android app.On a related note, YouTube informed all its users via email that it will update its new terms of service from June 1.
There are three major changes that YouTube announced. The first is facial recognition restrictions-YouTube has said no user can collect any information that might identify a person without their permission. While this has always included facial recognition information, the new Terms make that explicitly clear.
