YouTube tests hiding end screens in videos

socialmediatoday.com

YouTube is testing a new feature that lets viewers hide end screens on videos. End screens are the promotional images that appear in the last part of a video, often showing more content from the creator. Many users have expressed dislike for these end screens. Some even use browser extensions to disable them. YouTube's new option aims to give viewers more control over their experience. If you are in the test group, you will see a "Hide" button when the end screens appear. By clicking this button, you can hide the end screens for that specific video. If you change your mind, there is also a "Show" button to bring them back. For now, this feature is part of a limited experiment. YouTube will evaluate the feedback before deciding whether to expand it further. This move shows that YouTube is listening to user concerns about end screens and is looking to improve the viewing experience.
