Google Drive finally fixes the most tedious part of reviewing videos

TL;DR Google Drive now lets you leave comments at exact moments in videos, making feedback much more precise. Timestamped comments work alongside regular comments, replies, @mentions, and other existing collaboration tools. The feature is enabled by default for Workspace and personal Google accounts, but timestamped comments can only be created on the web.

Giving feedback on a video shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle. ” It works, but it’s hardly the fastest or cleanest way to collaborate. Google is finally fixing that annoyance.

The company is rolling out timestamped comments for videos in Google Drive on the web, making it much easier to leave feedback at the exact moment something happens in a video.
