YouTube, which has turned into a huge social media platform with new features over the years, has announced a new feature that will enable its users to interact with the video more. The new blog post shared on the YouTube Support page shared that after the time-stamped comments, this time it will pave the way for a certain main reaction in a video.
The new experimental feature, currently activated on YouTube channel #, allows viewers to react with emojis to a certain moment of the video, similar to timestamped comments. The reactions of the users can be viewed on the video by opening the reactions section while the video is playing.
