What is the “Most Replayed” feature?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new feature<\/a> is called Popular Segments<\/strong>, and it\u2019s a graph that lets you see which parts of the video are most interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows you to navigate to highlights within a video. The graph’s peaks show which parts of the videos have been the most replayed. You might know this feature from other websites. The chart appears when a user starts seeking a video using the red progress bar at the bottom of a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I don\u2019t see the \u201cMost Replayed\u201d graph?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YouTube is rolling out this feature to all Android and iOS devices and web browsers. If you’re currently not seeing the feature, you should be very soon<\/strong>. YouTube started experimenting with Popular Segments last year, and only Premium members could access it. But according to YouTube, 85% of users like it, and they are now rolling it out to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will \u201cMost Replayed\u201d affect watch time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the big question for YouTubers is will it affect watch times<\/strong>? Could this negatively impact the view duration of specific viewers when they start skipping through videos, especially for certain types of videos? When publishing this new feature, YouTube also shared some insights<\/a> from the experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
