YouTube Shorts gets a full-screen mode and a host of new features | Infinium-tech
YouTube has announced several new features for Shorts that will be rolling out in the coming days and weeks. Leading the update is a new distraction-free viewing mode that expands videos to fill the entire screen.
This is called Clear Screen Mode and enabling it will temporarily hide all on-screen text, buttons, and other UI elements for a distraction-free viewing experience.
YouTube Shorts is also getting a new 2x playback option, allowing users to watch videos at double the speed.
To make conversations more personal, YouTube is replacing the thumbs-up button with a heart icon.
Muting videos just got easier. Users can pause the short by simply tapping on the screen and then tapping on the new mute button to silence the audio.
Finally, the platform is removing the dislike button in favor of more useful feedback options, including “Not interested” and “Don’t recommend this channel.”
