- Google Drive will now show a thumbnail preview while shaving on the video progress bar.
- This feature will be available to all users on the web version of the drive, but it only works on newly uploaded videos.
- It is moving towards the Rapid Release Domains, which begins today, which begins on August 20.
Looking through a video in a Google Drive often means dragging the progress bar and hoping for the best. It’s finally changing, adding to the moment you are looking for to add the thumbnail preview to the progress bar with Google. The new feature is already ending, but you are not too excited to navigate your old videos right now.
This feature was just announced in a workpace updates post and is now moving towards fast release domains with a broader rollout from August 20. Users can rotate a new video timeline in the drive on the web to watch the scene through the scene, which can help you jump at the right moment without guessing much.
This is definitely a step in the right direction, though many other video players are already offered. The slightest catch here is that old video files will not benefit – they will only show uploaded thumbnates after the feature is available.
This is just the latest in the latest information for Google Drive. In June, the Android app found a newly designed video player that connected it to the desktop version. The same update also improved the mobile upload process with the selection of the file easily and the selection of the folder.
The Google Drive is also developing Gemini -powered features, including AI summary for the PDF and a “catch -up” tool that highlights the changes made in the shared documents since you last opened them.
