Preview Disappears Spontaneously

featurebox — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 19:48:42 GMT

I am streaming YouTube with chromecast and I want to select a different YT clip.

I push the down button on the remote, several rows of suggestions come up but I don't get the time to properly view them and consider them.

After five seconds without pushing any button on the remote the preview screen disappears.

I just don't have the chance to properly think about the selection that is being offered, unless I uselessly push buttons, for examply left button followed by right button.

Why not keep the preview screen active and wait until the user pushes for example the return button?

Hi featurebox

Thanks for reaching out about this issue. This is a common characteristic of YouTube and can happen on any device. Let me know if you have more questions.

Hi Manuel,

this is a common characteristic I am not happy with.
How can people have time to properly see what is being proposed if the suggestions disappear after five seconds?

regards,

David

Hi featurebox,

I apologize for the inconvenience, This behavior is inherent to the YouTube app, so it may occur on any device you use it on.
