The YouTube player is also getting some additional controls. On mobile, a “Stable Volume” toggle switch is being added to mitigate jarring volume differences, which is particularly helpful for content with inconsistent audio. Additionally, a “lock screen” feature is introduced, preventing unwanted interruptions by locking a smartphone or tablet’s display.
Lastly, the YouTube player offers a “Press to 2x” feature that allows you to instantly double the playback speed by pressing and holding on the player. This feature is accessible on web, mobile devices, and tablets.
