Based on community feedback, YouTube is rolling out a pair of updates that aim to improve the viewing experience.
YouTube is adding a new button that will allow viewers to hide end screens.
The feature will only hide the end screens for the current video you’re watching.
On desktop, you’ll no longer see a subscribe button when hovering your cursor over a video’s branded watermark.
YouTube allows creators to put up to four interactive elements on the screen in the last 5-20 seconds of their videos. These elements are known as end screens and are used to promote other videos, to encourage viewers to subscribe to the channel, and so on. The problem is, these interactive elements can get in the way and become distractions.
