Precise seeking will allow users to easily find an exact part in a video. Available on desktop and mobile, users can drag the cursor or swipe up on the video to see a row of thumbnails. This helps users find the exact spot in the video they want to rewatch.
YouTube's update also includes a new color effect called "ambient mode" that uses "dynamic color sampling" to match the app's background color to the colors in the video that a user watches, Nate Koechley, UX Director, YouTube, wrote in the official blog post.
Ambient mode will be available on desktop and mobile with YouTube's dark theme. It'll also be available on video playlists.

Another visual change will be new buttons under videos. YouTube links in video descriptions are now buttons in order to "minimize distractions," the company explained. To make the page even "easier on the eyes," the like, share and download buttons will also get makeovers and be smaller in size.
