Google Drive finally fixes the most tedious part of reviewing videos
Your "skip to 2:14" messages are finally becoming a thing of the past.
Google Drive has introduced a new feature allowing users to leave comments at specific moments in videos, streamlining the feedback process. This improvement enables precise collaboration by incorporating timestamped comments alongside regular ones, replies, @mentions, and other existing collaboration tools. The functionality is automatically enabled for both Workspace and personal Google accounts.
However, creating timestamped comments is currently limited to the web interface. The primary objective is to enhance the video review experience, alleviating the frustration often associated with providing feedback on videos stored in Google Drive. Users frequently find themselves typing comments like, "At 1:42, the text needs to be bigger," or "Around 3:15, can you remove that transition?"
Although functional, this method is not efficient or clean. Google's rollout of timestamped comments aims to address these issues, simplifying the feedback process for a more seamless collaboration experience.
