YouTube sometimes chooses to let Premium members first try out new features developed by the YouTube team before they are officially launched. The official will also collect user feedback. As a reference for new functions, such as the "picture-in-picture" function of iOS devices that has been tried for a long time, and the "smart download" function that I shared with you earlier this month (click me to see the introduction), they are all brand new An attempt.
YouTube recently launched a new experimental feature called "Read comments while watching videos on a computer."

Before that, let's take a look at the message panel of the player that was smartly located below the video information bar when this feature was not used in the past. This For computer users, it is very inconvenient if they want to watch videos and read valuable comments from other netizens at the same time.
However, if you turn on the "read comments while watching videos on your computer" experimental function , there will be an independent message panel on the right side of the channel on the video page, and you can see the content of a popular message.
If you click on the message panel, you will find that the message panel originally at the bottom has been moved directly to the right of the video! In this way, if you want to watch a video and read comments at the same time, you can do so at the same time. If some netizens leave comments with important paragraphs, you can jump to the timeline faster for playback.
