YouTube is testing a new feature that gives viewers the option to hide end screens on videos, according to recent announcements. This experiment is currently being conducted across both mobile and desktop platforms.
Users who are included in the experiment group will notice a "Hide" button appearing in the top-right corner of videos when end screens begin to display. This new functionality allows viewers to hide end screens on a per-video basis, offering greater control over the viewing experience.
The implementation is straightforward - users can simply tap the hide button to remove end screens from view. If viewers later decide they want to see the end screens again, they can tap the "Show" button which will be located in the same top-right position of the video.
This update represents YouTube's ongoing efforts to enhance user control over the viewing interface, allowing for a more personalized experience while watching content on the platform.
