Watch Later: Bookmark Videos on YouTube and Other Platforms

A feature in YouTube and other video platforms allowing users to save videos for later, acting as a bookmarking function for unwatched videos.

What is Watch Later?

The Watch Later feature on YouTube and other video platforms allows users to save videos to a playlist or list to watch at a more convenient time. This is useful for when you come across an interesting video but don't currently have the time or ability to watch the full video.

To use Watch Later, you simply click on the Watch Later button below a YouTube video or next to it via the menu. This adds that video to your Watch Later playlist. You can then go to your Watch Later playlist on your account to see all the videos you've saved for the future.

The benefit of using Watch Later is that it acts as a bookmarking feature for videos. So you don't have to try to remember to search for an interesting video again. The video is always there in your playlist so you can get to it whenever you're ready. It also allows you to curate a custom playlist of videos you want to focus on watching later on.

Overall, the Watch Later feature is useful for anyone who regularly comes across intriguing videos but doesn't always have the time to view them right away. It lets you easily save videos for whenever you have the time to come back and watch them in full.
