YouTube adds 'Continue Watching' feature on Web to resume partially played videos from your phone

YouTube is adding a new feature that allows users to continue watching videos from phones and other devices on the Web through its Miniplayer, state reports.

Normally, when users watch a video on YouTube for Android or iOS and close the video, with the latest feature they can now resume the same video by opening YouTube on the Web.

The video will display in the bottom-right corner of the YouTube website with the “Continue watching” text appearing right below the video title on the Miniplayer.

The Miniplayer feature for all desktop users was rolled out back in 2018 and it allows users to collapse a video into a smaller window at the bottom of the screen so users can browse through YouTube simultaneously.

According to the report, the latest feature will work with YouTube for Android TV also and users need to be logged in to the same Google Account to enable syncing.
