YouTube has reactions to the video: just like in Telegram

About a month ago, the developers of the YouTube video service officially confirmed that in the near future they plan to implement and test the reaction function in the form of emoji with reference to a specific time on the video. And just a couple of weeks after this information, some users really got the function of reactions on certain videos, although, of course, it’s still hard to call the innovation massive. The fact is that at the moment it is not entirely clear how widely the developers have implemented this feature – users on the network report a new reaction panel extremely rarely.

The very ability to put a reaction to a specific moment on the video appears as a floating panel when the comments section is expanded. The user can expand the panel to access four emoji that the user can use to show their relationship to the content. And these reactions will be displayed on the timeline, showing exactly what viewers think about this or that element of content. But it is worth noting that there is no user identification at the same time – reactions are simply displayed on the timeline, but, of course, it is impossible to find out who exactly put them.

Instead, you will see emoticons and counters showing which reactions and how many times users have used this video. Unfortunately, the developers of the video service reported that they are now testing the feature on a small number of channels and among a certain audience of users. This means that in some regions, most likely, it will simply not be possible to notice emoticons on the timeline. But if the feature is already so actively tested, then perhaps in the near future it will be available to more people from all over the world.
