YouTube App Updates Include “Fine-Tunable” Playback Speed, Sleep Timer And A More “Cinematic Feel” For TV Viewers

deadline.com:

YouTube has announced more than two dozen updates, including “fine-tunable” playback speed, a sleep timer and a more “cinematic feel” for its TV app.

The features will gradually roll out over the next few weeks as part of an annual product revamp, a blog post from the Google-owned video giant confirmed Tuesday.

While videos have already featured quarter-speed options (1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and so on), the update will allow for adjustments in 0.05 increments.

Mobile users will also see improved browsing in landscape mode, with greater responsiveness, larger thumbnails and bigger text.
