If there’s an emergency, you should still call 911 first.
YouTube will now direct you to the right first-aid videos during an emergency | Searching YouTube for advice on CPR, heart attacks, or other critical health emergencies will now highlight authorita…::A YouTube shelf of first-aid advice for acute health emergencies from legit sources is now set up to provide advice on topics like heart attack, CPR, choking, or stroke.
I may be reading it wrong but this is just not what the article says.
By “highlight authoritative sources” they mean display credible videos made by the authorities at the very top of the search results.
And within the article you’ll read that one of the first instructions given in said videos is to call an emergency service, and not that youtube is going to do it for you

What? The free market doesn’t just work?
I’m not sure how I feel about the authorities being alerted. What if someone is kinda bored and is looking for videos for educational use.
Edit: ok I read the headline wrong. Oops

Guess it’s better than making me sit through an ad first, but is this really that big of news otherwise?
Ad free, right?
RIGHT?!
Is there any better place for hospital/coffin ads?
But will it still play an ad before the video?
Yeah one of those 30 minutes ads there used to be (not sure any more I have premium & ad block).

Nothing 911 could tell you on the phone and would be faster…
Visual video reference. 911 could also tell me how to change my oil but a video is a lot easier
i mean yeah for sure, take your time in an emergency and watch the video first
