Videos
on YouTube are going to get even more vigorous thanks to a new feature
which the company is testing out. YouTube has began experimenting a way
to allow users to upload multiple camera angles for their videos.
Viewers can then choose between various viewing angles as they like.
This of course, means a lot more production work for film-makers.
As
of now, the feature is only available for desktop versions and can be
tested only in the US. For starters, the company has released a live
performance of artist Madilyn Bailey and is open to take various other
requests who would like to help out experiment the feature.
The
new feature works in a way where a few thumbnails appear on the right
side of the video and disappear once it’s started. Viewers can try out
whichever camera angle they prefer. When we tried out the feature, it
worked out fine. No lag was experienced and the video quality wasn’t
affected either. The video was not available in Full HD though and can
only support 720p for now.
This
feature will be widely appreciated while watching concerts online or
even sports as it enhances the viewing experience. In conversation with
Mashable, a YouTube spokesperson Matt McLernon said that, “We want to
give artists as many ways to connect with their fans as possible, and
this experimental feature brings fans even further into creating the
experience they want.”
In
an effort to make changes, YouTube had updated their app with material
design and search filters last year. YouTube’s version 6.0 has added
different menu colors along with a more soft and easy effect. The menu
bar slides from the left. Colors are lighter and are aesthetically
pleasing. It complements then newly received Android Lollipop update.
YouTube
had also announced offline-video viewing feature for mobile phone users
in India. This will let mobile phone users take a video offline, using
either Wi-fi or data plan and this video will be available for unlimited
viewing for the next 48 hours.
