Google is testing this new visual change in the YouTube app
Google has always been experimenting with its applications, introducing new features from time to time. While many get a green chit and are deployed to the masses, some are pulled up. Adding to the list is a change in YouTube that is being tested by Google. The change comes in the form of moving up of the comments section in a video. Some may see the comments section right below the video so users can easily jump to the conversation. For now, viewers have to scroll down through the entire list of ‘Up next’ videos to reach the particular section.
The new user interface shows the three featured comments on top, tapping on which will show the complete section. Those who are witnessing the change will also see a prompt below the ‘Up next’ section stating that the comments section has moved up.
“We want to make it easier for people watching videos to find comments in the YouTube app without having to scroll through “Up Next” videos, so we’re testing out a new comment section that appears directly below the video.
