The YouTube platform is very popular all over the world, so developers from Google continue to improve it by adding new features that make it easier to interact with the service. Another innovation concerns the YouTube mobile application for Android devices.
Often new content on YouTube is created by multiple authors at the same time. A new feature that has recently appeared in the mobile application of the service is designed for such cases. The item “Featured in this video” was added to the application menu (they took part in the video), the use of which will automatically generate links to YouTube channels of each person who took part in the filming of the video. The new feature will greatly simplify the work of content creators, since they will no longer have to manually specify links to other channels in the description of published videos. As for users watching videos, it will be easier for them to find out who took part in the recording.
Google developers do not explain how the new feature will work. The post says that links will be generated based on a "range of features". The source suggests that powerful algorithms similar to those used to generate recommendations within the YouTube service will be used to implement this.
The new feature is currently under testing. It is only available for a limited number of channels. In addition, it has become available to a "small percentage" of Android device users. After Google collects user feedback, we should expect the new feature to be widespread. This may likely happen in one of the next updates to the YouTube mobile app.
