YouTube is introducing new features for its Premium subscribers, enhancing the viewing experience on the platform. One of these features is the picture-in-picture mode for YouTube Shorts, which allows users to continue watching videos while browsing other applications. To ensure that the video does not shrink and display in this way while browsing, users should pause or stop playing a YouTube video before exiting the app, as advised by Google.
The picture-in-picture mode can be activated by reducing the size of the video and dragging it around different parts of the screen. Additionally, Premium subscribers can now enjoy the ‘Jump ahead’ feature on Android devices, powered by a combination of AI and audience data, which allows users to skip ahead to relevant content. This feature is currently available in the United States and will soon be coming to iOS devices.
Premium subscribers can also access early access to design, AI assistance, and features for YouTube Shorts such as smart downloading of videos through conversational IAS experience available on Android devices in US. The conversational IAS experience provides users with the ability to ask questions and receive suggestions for related content without interrupting their viewing experience.
These new features are designed to make it easier for Premium subscribers to find and watch content they love on YouTube. By providing them with more personalized options and tools for navigating the platform, these updates are sure to enhance their overall viewing experience.
