What is Youtube’s new Stable Volume feature?

The Stable Volume feature for Youtube is currently being tested and is rolled out only for some selected users. This feature aims to provide users with a better viewing experience. It makes sure that sound remains consistent throughout every video played. The purpose behind Youtube introducing the Stable Volume feature is to even out the sound for different videos. A spike or drop in volume across different videos can lead to a disruptive viewing experience.  

There is no official announcement by Youtube yet about the Stable Volume feature. Youtuber M Brandon Lee was among the first few who discovered this feature. He stated that the Stable Volume feature can normalise and compress volumes. It will be useful for videos though this might not be quite helpful for music content. His statement was hence confirmed by a Youtube spokesperson and it was made clear that Youtube is rolling out this new feature

However, Stable Volume is not an exclusive feature of Youtube. Other media players such as Roku, smart TVs and sound systems have already rolled out a similar feature.

Conclusion

Youtube is always working towards providing its users with an enhanced viewing experience. Apart from Stable Volume experience Youtube is testing several other features. The Lock Screen feature is another attempt by Youtube to enhance its viewing experience. The lock screen feature allows users to disable touch while watching.

These latest features demonstrate how Youtube is always making efforts to enhance user experience and cater to the needs of its audience. By introducing the Stable Volume feature Youtube is exemplifying its commitment towards providing a seamless video experience to its users.
