This is a pretty neat feature but sadly has an expiry date. I do hope they make this permanent.

@Navjot Singh can we use the above feature to filter out the Indian youtubers from showing up on the search?

Atleast on the shorts, majority of them are super annoying.

YouTube Video Player Updates: Most Replayed, Video Chapters, Single Loop & More - YouTube Community

Easily watch the most replayed parts of a video: while seeking, you’ll see a graph showing you the most frequently replayed parts of the video. If the graph is high, then that part of the video has been replayed often. You can use the graph to quickly find and watch those moments. Note: you may have tested this as part of an experiment, and now we’re excited to bring the feature to viewers on desktop and mobile today!

Get to a specific section with video chapters (including new auto-generated chapters), now on Smart TVs and gaming consoles: video chapters, which launched in May 2020, break up videos into sections, allowing you to jump forward to a specific section of a video, easily rewatch just that portion, and more. So far, video chapters have been added to 20 million videos, and we’re excited that they can now be auto-generated and viewed across more devices.

Put an individual video on endless repeat with Single Loop: you can now use the single loop feature to keep one video playing for as long as you want! Learn more about looping videos in our Help Center.

Skip to the parts of videos that you’re most interested in watching: Soon we’ll be testing a new and easier way for you to seek to the exact moment in a video that you want to watch. If you’re a Premium member, keep an eye out for this on youtube.com/new. In the meantime, you can still long press anywhere on the player to start seeking, or double tap with 2 fingers to skip between video chapters -- getting right to the specific part of the video that you’re eager to watch!

Use new full screen mode features in the YouTube app: when you’re watching in full screen on the app, a new panel will display information about the video such as video description, video chapters, comments, etc. We’ve also added new quick action buttons, so you can like, dislike, comment, share, or add a video to a playlist -- directly from full screen mode!
