Youtube May Soon Let You Loop Video Chapters

In May 2020, Google unveiled a new feature for YouTube called video chapters. As the name suggests, video chapters break down a YouTube video in chunks, making it easier to jump to specific sections of a given video without having to fiddle with the progress bar.

YouTube version 17.01.36 recently rolled out on the Google Play Store and within the APK, hackers have found new strings for a repeat mode for video chapters. While it’s long been possible to loop YouTube videos, there’s currently no way to loop just a specific portion of a video.

NOTE: The feature was likely discovered by reverse-engineering the app to find hidden features and security vulnerabilities, so while it’s possible this may come up as a feature in the future, there is no guarantee that it will.
