The video hosting platform plans to roll out these improvements gradually, not all of which should be available immediately.

The first change was implemented last May.

This is the chapter function, which allows the Internet user to scroll and choose a chapter of the video viewed.

Each of them has a thumbnail and a title.

Modified functionalities

YouTube has also changed some features already present, now easier to access.

This is particularly the case for the display of subtitles, available using a transparent button at the top right of the player.

The option to enable - or not - the display of the next video is now available in the same way.

The site also plans to introduce new navigation gestures, in particular to switch the image to full screen.

To do this, simply slide your finger upwards when viewing it in portrait mode.

The full screen can be left with a swipe down.

Actions suggested by the platform

Suggestions for actions should also be offered to Internet users, such as rotating a device or playing the video in virtual reality.

For video junkies, YouTube plans to set up a reminder to prompt users to close the app before going to sleep.
