Spotted by Redditor\u00a0u\/magnatronmusic31 (via Android Police), it makes skipping video chapters all the more convenient and faster.<br \/>\nAccording to the report, double-tapping with two fingers on the right side of the screen takes you to the next chapter of the video that\u2019s currently playing. And if you perform the same gesture on the left side of the screen, you will go back to the previous chapter. It works better if you\u2019re watching the video in landscape screen orientation. It\u2019s harder to double-tap with two fingers on the compact YouTube player window in portrait orientation.<br \/>\nOf course, the video you\u2019re watching must have chapters embedded for this gesture to work. But if the creator has added the proper timestamps, it\u2019s a handy new feature to have at your disposal. You might be already aware that a double-tap with only one finger lets you skip 10 seconds in a video, both in forward and reverse directions.<br \/>\nYouTube picks a neat gesture to skip video chapters<br \/>\nThis is the second new gesture YouTube for Android has gained over the past few days. Last week, the ultra-popular video streaming service rolled out the ability to scrub to a particular point in a video with a drag gesture anywhere on the screen.<br \/>\nYouTube last year removed the ability to skip to any point in a video by tapping on the progress bar. The company said it made the changes because of complaints of accidental touches. Instead, it required users to tap and hold the progress bar to scrub through the video. But you first need to bring up the progress bar by tapping on the screen. The new gesture makes things easier as you can now tap and hold anywhere on the screen to scrub through the video.<br \/>\nThe latest double-tap gesture for skipping chapters now adds another neat new ability to YouTube. Much like the scrub gesture, it is also rolling out over a server-side update. It should be live for you in the coming days if it hasn\u2019t already. Some users are reportedly able to use the new gesture on YouTube version 16.31.35 beta. You might want to update the app to the latest available version to maximize your chances of getting it earlier.
