Two new features were introduced to YouTube Premium subscribers recently. The first feature is to tap the screen to play the video at 2x faster speed. With this the user can speed up the parts of the video that may be boring by just pressing the screen. The video will return to speed immediately after the screen is no longer pressed. Previously, to watch videos quickly, users had to access the Playback Speed menu.
The second feature that can be tested is that a larger preview image is displayed when the hand passes through the video player timeline. Again the part of the video you want to watch can be seen more clearly because of the larger preview image.
YouTube Premium subscribers can use this feature until August 13 only. At the same time only one feature can be activated at a time. To try these two experimental features please go to Settings > Try new features.
