Google adds new features and perks to YouTube Premium ‘for free’

Google adds new

Google-owned YouTube has announced that it is rolling out new experimental features for Premium users. These include high-quality audio, faster playback speeds on mobile, and the ability to “jump ahead” on web videos to skip directly to the most engaging parts. The last significant upgrade to YouTube Premium was in April 2023, when SharePlay support was added.

YouTube frequently tests new features that users can activate at youtube.com/new. In the latest experiment, Premium users can now enable a higher audio bitrate for music videos—up to 256 kbps. Notably, YouTube Music offers this audio quality when the playback settings are High.

Here are some of the experimental features coming to YouTube Premium:
High-Quality Audio: Premium members can enjoy enhanced 256kbps audio quality for music videos, offering greater clarity and depth.
“Jump Ahead” on the Web: Previously available on mobile, this feature lets users skip directly to the best parts of a video while browsing on a desktop.
Picture-in-Picture for Shorts on iOS: Watch Shorts while multitasking—whether browsing other apps or replying to messages.

Smart Downloads for Shorts on iOS: Automatically download recommended Shorts for offline viewing.

Additionally, YouTube Music is launching the Ask Music feature for Android users in the UK and Ireland today. This feature allows users to request specific types of music, such as “upbeat workout tracks” or “relaxing jazz,” using voice commands.

 

The YouTube app on iOS is also gaining an Ask chat button located beneath the video player. This feature helps answer questions about the content you’re watching and suggests related videos.

 

 

YouTube Premium is now bundled with Google One in the US.

Google is offering YouTube Premium as a Google One subscription for the first time. The 2TB Google One plan in the US now includes YouTube Premium at a discounted rate. It remains to be seen when Google will add YouTube Premium to Google One for its users in India.
