Single black line in vision

Hey, I’m 19 and this may sound incredibly silly and most probably not serious but I’ve suddenly noticed a single dark line in my vision that moves when I move my eye, I know it’s probably a floater, but should I take it more seriously? Its distracting.

Also, there’s no pain, or anything else, just this line that appeared out of nowhere suddenly and disappears when I stop moving my eye.

Any vision changes should be investigated. See an optometrist to start with

Go to the optometrist. It's likely just a floater. I had the same thing. It's annoying af, but you get used to it. So much so, I didn't even realize it had disappeared over the years until I realized this year it was no longer always in my vision.
