Reddit shared updates on its ongoing project to revamp its video player.

The platform said it will focus on four major areas where feedback from Redditors indicated that improvements are needed:

  • Performance: Reddit said it has lowered daily mobile playback errors by 68% since beginning the project.
  • Conversation: The platform will introduce a swipe-left gesture over the next few months with a picture-in-picture feature that lets Redditors scroll through a full screen of comments without losing sight of the video.
