YouTube is testing “Auto Speed,” a feature that dynamically adjusts playback speeds to save time while maintaining comprehension.
A new “On-the-go” control view provides a simplified, distraction-free interface for consuming audio-centric content while on the go.
Both features are YouTube Premium experiments available until April 27.
The primary reason to get a YouTube Premium subscription is to avoid ads, especially given how long they’ve gotten recently. But if you pay up, YouTube also gives you access to experimental features. The latest “Auto Speed” YouTube experiment helps you save time while watching videos by dynamically speeding them up as needed. There’s also a new “On-the-go” control view that makes it easier to control playback while you’re on the move.
