    What’s New in This Update?
    We’ve overhauled the player to give you total control over your workspace:
    
    • Dynamic Customization: Manually resize and reposition the player anywhere on your screen. Whether you want a mini-view in the corner or a centered cinematic experience, the choice is yours.
    
    • Sticky Mode (Lock Button): Enable the new Lock feature to keep the player active while you explore. Clicking outside the modal won't close it, allowing you to browse other videos or multitask without losing your current view.
    
    • Enhanced Interactivity: Dive deeper into the content with dedicated buttons for Video Descriptions and Comments. Plus, use the integrated AI 'Ask' feature to get instant insights while you watch.
    
    • One-Tap Reset: Experiment with confidence. If you want to return to the original layout, the Reset to Default button restores all settings instantly.
    
    Key Features:
    
    • Instant In-Feed Playback: Hover over any video and click the smart preview button to watch directly on your current page.
    
    • Tailored Atmosphere: Fine-tune background darkness and blurriness settings for a distraction-free experience.
    
    • Stay in the Flow: Keep your place in the YouTube feed while enjoying full video functionality.
