[Feature Request]: In Progress Video Thumbnails #3050
Comments
Using 100% as a binary breakpoint is not perfect, as many people stop their videos partway through. Dimming the opacity on a gradient of watch % isn't perfect either, as depending on the implementation, it risks 1) making "is this video watched at all" harder to visually detect, and 2) making a list/grid of watched videos more cognitively complex, with multiple opacity gradients to visually parse. This feature also introduces the problem of presenting less information on the History page than appears in other views, which is not what you would expect as a user. I'm open to other solutions that take into account the above considerations. Also of note: I'm not sure how effectively we're currently communicating watched & watched % to disabled users. It would be worth checking with YT's implementation and other apps for possible inspiration on how we could improve our accessibility here if at all. |

Problem Description
Videos that are in progress of viewing (say 30% watched) have the same dimmed appearance as a 100% watched video on their thumbnails.
Proposed Solution
Please consider either adding an icon for "in progress" or dimming them less than 100% watched videos.
Alternatives Considered
Using the app as is.
