YouTube Video Preview: YouTube has no competition in terms of online videos, but people also have complaints about its algorithm. The biggest complaint is regarding misleading content. People say that they waste a lot of time due to clickbait thumbnails and YouTube is not doing anything to deal with it. Now the company is going to resolve this complaint. The company is bringing a new feature in which users will be able to see the preview of the video even before clicking on it.
This new feature is coming on YouTube
According to reports, YouTube has started testing a new feature. It has been named ‘Discover videos with Previews’. With its help the user will be able to avoid clicking on misleading content. This feature can be useful for users, but creators may have to suffer loss because after watching the user preview, they may change their mind to watch the entire video.
How will the new feature work?
It has been told on the official support website of YouTube that this feature will show the user a 5-10 second preview of the recommended video. In this, short and engaging moments of the video will be shown to the user. With its help, users will be able to decide whether they want to watch the entire video or want to skip it. With this, users will be able to avoid videos with clickbait thumbnails. Actually, many creators tell something in the thumbnail, which has nothing to do with the video. With this, users will be able to avoid watching videos with clickbait thumbnails.
Creators may suffer loss due to this
This feature can change the entire experience of watching videos on YouTube and may cause loss to the creator. If the best parts of the video are visible only in the preview, then most users can skip watching the full video. In such a situation, it will largely depend on YouTube how it plays these previews and what type of content will be shown in it.
