YouTube on Thursday announced an experimental feature for videos that will allow viewers to select from multiple camera angles.

The new feature is currently being tested for only one stream, artist Madilyn Bailey YouTube Music Night performance from the YouTube Space LA. The stream is accessible from anywhere but the experiment feature is only available on the desktop and in the US, says the company, however, we were able to access the feature in India as well.

The tool shows up under a special "Choose Your View" tab on Madilyn Bailey's channel, which allows viewers to switch camera angles seen on and above the video stream on the right side.

"Your videos bring your fans front and center, behind the scenes and everywhere in between. But what if your fans could choose from different camera angles of the same video while that video is playing?" notes YouTube Creators Google+ post.

Last week, Google announced that the YouTube portal, which was using Adobe Flash for video delivery in most Web browsers, will ditch it in favour of HTML5 as its default platform.

The search giant has been experimenting on the same since 2010. It is worth mentioning that rival companies like Microsoft and Apple along with other video services like Netflix and Vimeo already use HTML5.
