YouTube is a platform that is constantly working on enhancing user experience to ensure maximum consumer satisfaction.
In order to improve the user experience, the YouTube team is continuously testing new features. Usually, these features are available only for a short period of time and to a small group of people.
On November 24, 2020, the team announced that YouTube is testing an easier way to add timestamps in the comments of the video automatically.
As of now, all users can manually add the timestamp of the video in the comments section which automatically creates a link that would take other users to watch the moment that you were referring to.
Want to know how to manually add a timestamp in YouTube comments,
It was a bit of hassle to mention the exact time but not that troublesome. Although, we can always appreciate YouTube's efforts to get our job done easier. After all, convenience is the key to a better user experience.

They need to tap the icon and it will automatically add the specific time where you paused the video to type the comment i.e. the current time of the video in the comment.
This feature is available only to a small group of people and for a limited period under cloud storage like every other feature. Read More.
