Earlier, there were two separate waiting periods while uploading a video to the website. The second section demonstrated how long it would take to convert the file into a full-quality video, while the first part demonstrated how long it would take to upload the clip from your PC or laptop to your YouTube account.
The new feature combines both components into one, thereby facilitating faster uploads. The Google-owned firm claims processing times may be longer for higher-quality formats like HD and 4K. The feature has also already been made available to a small number of people and will shortly be made available to more users.
