It seems YouTube is finally giving its TV app the AI feature that lets you skip to the most interesting parts of a video.
Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman reports that the Jump Ahead perk for YouTube Premium subscribers appeared on his Nvidia Shield TV yesterday, a feature that was previously exclusive to YouTube’s web and mobile platforms.
Jump Ahead gives users an easy way to automatically get to the best bits of a video by using AI to analyze the most-watched segments that viewers typically skip to.
While YouTube’s support page confirms that Jump Ahead is now “available on Living Room,” the scale and pace of the rollout are unclear.
A Reddit user has reported seeing the feature appear on their Samsung TV, however, and Android Police also spotted it on a Google TV streamer.
