Now you can blur literally anything in your YouTube video

26 February, 2016
Building on the face-blurring capability it introduced back in 2012, YouTube has launched a new tool that lets you blur anything in your video, even if the object in question moves. Dubbed Custom Blurring, the tool is currently only available on desktop versions of the video-sharing service.

    It is almost time for the biggest movie of all time batman v superman.

      Expect to see more p**n on YouTube in the future. Blurred p**n. It sounds like NVidia's marketing on video games "The way it's meant to be played". ;)

        Maybe it makes it easier for some content creators to edit their videos, thus uploading more content for you to watch.

        And I'm guessing at some point this will be used to censor copyrighted content on videos. So you can forcefully blur a part of the screen on the video if someone's ripping off your content. e.g. reaction videos showing the entire clip on a small section of the screen.
