YouTube adds new ‘Chapters’ feature that let you skip through to best bits of a video
YOUTUBE is adding a brand new feature that makes it faster to get to the best bits of a clip.
The new "Chapters" tool breaks videos in sections – and lets you quickly flick forward.
Google announced the surprise feature on Twitter, confirming that it would be available to immediately.
The bad news is that it's not automatic: video makers will have to manually set up chapters themselves.
Chapters are assigned using "timestamps", and can be named to highlight exciting parts of a video.
Viewers can then quickly fast-forward to the very best moments in a clip.
The move comes just days after Google sparked fury with a controversial YouTube update.
The firm is testing a new feature that shows Google results inside the YouTube app.
It means that website links appear among videos when users search for clips on the site.
The update came in the same year that YouTube celebrated its 15-year "first video" anniversary.
