Premium subscribers on YouTube can now enjoy an enhanced viewing experience with new features. The picture-in-picture mode for YouTube Shorts allows users to watch videos while using other apps, with the option to minimize and move it around the screen. To avoid the video shrinking, users should pause or stop it before exiting the app.
YouTube Premium subscribers can also take advantage of an uninterrupted viewing experience of YouTube Shorts videos, which are vertical and last no more than 60 seconds. This feature is particularly useful for multitasking on Android devices in the United States.
In addition, Premium subscribers can access early access to the latest designs, AI assistance, and features of YouTube Shorts, such as smart downloading of videos. In the United States, Android users can also benefit from a conversational AI experience that suggests related content without interrupting playback or answering questions.
