A new feature onYouTubecould make its comment section more chaotic than it already is.
YouTubeis testing a new feature which lets a “small number” of creators record an audio reply to a comment on theirYouTube videos. So that means your favorite YouTuber in the future could reply to a comment you left on one of their videos with their voice rather than just a text reply.
“We hope that the voice reply experiment enables more meaningful relationships between creators and their audience,” YouTube said in ahelp forum post.
YouTube is one of the biggest internet video platforms of them all, with news content, viral videos, niche fandoms, and everything in between.

This feature is cool but also a little weird at the same time. Do I need to hear a creator on YouTube reply with their voice to a comment? Not really, but it is an interesting way for a creator to engage with their audience. Another question is whether this voice reply feature will pick up steam with creators after this initial testing phase. YouTube is just experimenting with it, so there’s a chance it will never be fully implemented.
