YouTube is going to let its users edit a 5-60 second segment of video uploads and streams,  save it or share it with others across platforms. If you're watching content from one of the channels in this test, you'll see a clip icon below the video that lets you choose your preferred part of them to record. The clip will then be played on the original video and repeated many times, explained YouTube. Users just need to drag the slider to adjust the length of the clip. 

Another development of YouTube is adding support HDR to Microsoft’s Xbox consoles. The company said that the HDR support is available on the existing Xbox One devices. Though the HDR videos are brighter and more colorful, it’s the console that decides the maximum resolution. The gaming services will soon be brought to PCs and iOS users, ac Streaming video speed test coding to Microsoft.
