Calling all impatient viewers! YouTube is starting to experiment with a feature called “Jump Ahead” available only to those who have a premium subscription. Are you finding yourself getting tired of waiting for the end of the road? This AI tool is your time-saving fairy godmother that can walk you through the hairdressing process in just one project.

Instead of constant facial swipes of 10-second duration, “Jump Ahead” conducts user behavior and video data analysis to find the most interesting part of the video. Imagine an auditorium and there is a long-talking critic. Upon double-clicking, information may be transmitted, thus, important parts may be lost. Your experience with the “Jump Ahead” webpage will be highly interactive as you will have the option to view a product demonstration.

Think of it as your highlighting film. Forwarding does not work on all videos yet, however, you will see a “Jump Ahead” button after planning the appropriate content. It’s still growing, but could fundamentally change how you watch more important videos on YouTube.
