YouTube is updating the play-and-interaction mode of Shorts by adding multi-speed, screen-cleaning, etc. Overall, the realignment was mainly structured around the viewing efficiency and interface experience of short videos.

Play speed double

Users can now double the speed of Shorts play. YouTube indicates that this is done to allow users to access information more quickly or to find the preferred footage more quickly.

There's been a change in the interactive button.

Platform removes the Shorts 'does not like 'button. If the user wants to reduce similar content, you can only use the options "Not Interested" and "Don't respond this Channel".

The original acclaim button was also replaced with a love icon. YouTube also introduces "Clar Screen Mode" to temporarily hide icons and text from the play and to make the content more concise.

The function will start in batch lines

YouTube states that these updates will be presented gradually, but that no specific time has been announced. The company had previously disclosed that Shorts had accumulated significant views and that more and more content had been moved to television screens.
