YouTube testing ‘Add to Queue’ feature for Premium Subscribers
YouTube has started testing out an ‘Add to Queue’ feature on its Android and iOS apps. A report stated that the Add to Queue feature is available for testing on Android and iOS apps for only YouTube Premium accounts.
Once a user adds a video to the queue, YouTube will display a panel at the bottom of the page showcasing the viewing order of videos that are in line to play next. The panel can be interacted with through drag and drop gestures for re-ordering the queue, while swipe left gesture will remove a video from the playlist.
So far, the mobile app versions of YouTube, on both iOS and Android, have only been known to feature ‘Save To Watch Later’ and ‘Save To Playlist’ for planned playback. These save the video onto the user’s library and needs manual removal for deleting a song from the list.
Users who are YouTube Premium subscribers and would want to test out the new feature may do so by heading to the Try New Features section from the profile menu on the YouTube application on their Android or iOS devices.
The video-sharing platform had also recently introduced improved spam and abuse detection mechanisms to its platform amid increasing scrutiny over social media firms’ inability to limit abuse and harassment.
