Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus for previewing video, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: determining a first video corresponding to the first video cover fully displayed in a current screen when stop of a slide on the screen is detected; playing the first video on the current screen for user previewing; jumping to a subpage corresponding to the first video and playing the first video on the subpage when a click operation to the first video is detected. According to this disclosure, users can know the specific content of the video during the previewing process, so as to determine whether they are interested in the video. If they are not interested, the uses may skip it directly and continue watching the next video; else, the users may click the video to further watch the full video content, so that the users can intuitively filter the watching contents, thereby improving the user experience.
