YouTube has been updated with a stable volume, improved searching, hum to search, and other features

As part of the newest upgrades to the video streaming service, YouTube is receiving support for many new features and enhancements. The Alphabet-owned firm stated that it is bringing "three dozen new features and design updates" to consumers across many devices. Users will benefit from enhanced volume settings, better video searching, and a better experience when enjoying videos and subscribing to video producers on YouTube as a result of these enhancements. There is also a new You tab featuring account information and a user's viewing history.

YouTube Product Management Director Matthew Darby wrote in a blog post that the service has released a new feature called Stable level, which is aimed at making it easier to change the level while viewing a video — reducing the rapid jumps that used to occur in the past. This option is already available to users and is activated by default in each video settings menu under Additional options > Stable volume.

According to the firm, searching while viewing a video would also become easier. Users may press and hold on the right side of the screen while watching a video in portrait or landscape (full screen mode) to start playing the movie at twice the pace – until they let go.

Meanwhile, viewers will be able to use haptic feedback to move their finger while scrubbing the video seek bar back to the spot they were previously watching. Users of mobile devices and tablets may now "lock" the screen to avoid inadvertent touches while watching a video.

When a video is playing and YouTube producers invite people to like it and subscribe to their channel, the appropriate buttons will be displayed with a visual cue, as well as animations when users engage with them. According to the firm, users will watch video counts update in real time throughout the first 24 hours after uploading a video. 

YouTube is also launching a new You tab, which will replace the Library button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. According to the firm, this tab will hold previously watched videos, playlists, downloads, and purchases, as well as account settings and channel information.

Android users will be able to search for songs by singing, humming, or playing them directly from the YouTube app. According to the business, this capability, which is also accessible in the Google app, will allow you to rapidly search for a track and identify it using AI. It will be accessible in the coming weeks via the YouTube app for Android handsets.
