YouTube will start allowing viewers to discover the most-viewed parts of any video. The feature is rolling out now across Android and iOS devices, as well as on desktops. It will obviously be driven by the viewer community and should reveal the true engagement of content. YouTube is also offering other new features such as a dedicated video loop function and auto-generated video chapters.

All YouTube videos will gradually have a semi-translucent graph that appears above the progress bar. While sliding the progress bar, users will see the graph appear just above it, stretching across the length of the video’s length and display window. Higher bumps or peaks in the graph will indicate sections of the video that viewers watch the most.

Will there be a way to untoggle this feature? It seems like another bloat feature for casual watchers, although it could be useful for certain groups of people.
