YouTube is making automatic video chapters available for all uploaded clips, while it s also launching a new dark mode for YouTube Studio on desktop, which will no doubt please fans of these Goth versions of websites and apps.
First off, on video chapters - last November, YouTube launched an experiment which saw chapters automatically inserted into selected videos, using machine learning to identify relevant segments within each.
