YouTube will finally allow you to hide the popup at the end of the videos

YouTube says it will allow viewers now Refuse the popup and video suggestions At the end of the videos with a new “hide” button. This popup on the screen is the end of part of YouTube videos, but the company says it has received community comments stating that viewers wanted to reject them until they focus on the content they are watching. “

If the end screens are bothering you before the video you watch, you can now click or click on a new hide button in the right upper corner of the YouTube video player to reject them. However, it should be noted that the preparation only applies to the current video you are watching, so you have to click on the hiding button again for every new video you watch. Even with this little discomfort, giving viewers the option is a positive change. The final screens may improve the standards of a channel or videos, but when you object to watching them, you should be able to hide them.

Besides this new button, YouTube also changes an interface element on the desktop version of the video platform. Now you can no longer see the “Subscribe” button when the mouse hovered on a watermark video – a feature that was already in need of the subscription button at the bottom of each video.

YouTube claims that none of these changes will not prevent video creators from adding things like final screens or watermarks if they want, and it only has modifications themselves a simple effect on the views or subscriptions that the channel earns. “Giving users the option to hide the final screens led to a decrease in less than 1.5 percent in views of the final screens,” as youtube claims. Meanwhile, “less than 0.05 per cent of all channels subscriptions come from the functions of homing to subscribe to the water mark,” so removing the option is not a great loss.
