YouTube is currently piloting a new feature that will showcase how many people are watching the same video at the same time:
The company is testing live view counts in its Android app, Android Police reports, which will display how many viewers are watching any given video concurrently. A handful of users reported seeing a ‘watching now’ figure below video titles — and right above the ‘thumbs up’ button (see below). Android Police notes that while several third-party websites provide live subscriber counts, this is the first time that concurrent viewership data on prerecorded videos has ever been available.
