What is Highlight on YouTube?



Highlight is one of the features of Maika Extension operating on YouTube.

Have you ever been watching a YouTube video, found valuable content, and wanted to 'bookmark' those significant moments for later reference? If so, what would you do next? Jot them down in a notebook or open another software to save the just-played content...?

No need for such hassles, as the Highlight feature can help you take notes in a simple and much more convenient way.

When you hover over the playing video, you'll see the Highlight icon. Just click on this icon to instantly create a marker for the current moment in the video. The marked moments will then be saved to Maika Cloud, making it easy for you to access and review them quickly.

What benefits does Highlight on YouTube provide?



The Highlight feature is designed to assist individuals working, researching, and learning in the online environment, particularly on the YouTube platform. With Highlight, the efficiency of collecting and filtering information is significantly enhanced, thanks to its ability to:
Mark the position of crucial content in the video with just a mouse click. The number of markers in a video is unlimited.
Click on a marked content to instantly jump to the corresponding playback section. No need for manual searching, saving time and effort.
Store marked content easily, conveniently accessible for review. You can access it from the Cloud - Content saved on the Maika.ai website.
Add notes to marked segments directly on the page, without opening additional tabs. Easier categorization and management of marked content; quick search when needed.

Using the Highlight Feature on YouTube



You can also follow step-by-step instructions to use this feature.

Hovering over the playing video, you'll see the Highlight icon.

When hovering over any position in the video, the Highlight icon will appear below the timeline of the video.



Click on the Highlight icon to create a marker for the currently playing moment on the screen.

Additionally, when placing the cursor on the video's timeline, you'll also see a faded icon (marked by a red square in the image) appearing above the timeline, accompanied by a thumbnail for the corresponding position in the video.



You can hover over this faded icon and click on it to mark the moment depicted in the thumbnail.

Note:

These two Highlight methods differ as follows:
Clicking the Highlight button below the timeline marks the CURRENTLY PLAYING moment and saves it.
Hovering and clicking the faded Highlight button above the timeline marks the moment APPEARING IN THE THUMBNAIL and saves it. In practical use, you can hover over a previously played section to mark it without replaying it.
