YouTube Adds ‘Continue Watching’ Feature on Web to Resume Partially Played Videos From Your Phone: Report

According to reports, YouTube is adding a new feature that allows users to continue to watch videos from mobile phones and other devices on the Internet through its Miniplayer. When users watch part of the video on YouTube on Android or iOS and close the video, using the latest features, they will be able to restore the same video by opening YouTube on the web.

The video will appear in the lower right corner of the YouTube website, and the text “Continue Watching” will appear directly below the video title in the mini player. YouTube launched the Miniplayer feature for all desktop users as early as 2018, which allows users to fold videos into a smaller window at the bottom of the screen so that users can browse YouTube at the same time. YouTube’s new features were first reported by 9to5Google.

According to the report, users can use YouTube’s Miniplayer to continue to watch videos on the Internet through mobile phones and other devices. The small video player will have a play button to resume playback from where the user interrupted on the phone. Clicking anywhere in the floating window will take the user to the complete video page. According to the report, the latest feature is also applicable to YouTube on Android TV, and users need to log in to the same Google account to enable synchronization.
