When watching YouTube on your TV, you will be able to open the video progress bar and little white markers will appear. Those are the “key moments” that YouTube is pointing out for you. You can then use your remote’s arrow keys to quickly skip between them, and YouTube will even show a little thumbnail and description. Hopefully this means that you’ll no longer have to sit through rambling intros or less interesting sections.
