Much like popular streaming services in the market, Youtube has also launched a premium tier of membership that unlocks a few much-needed features for the humble and free-to-use, Youtube app. The most coveted feature that is unlocked by Youtube Premium is the ability to keep the video running even after you exit the app. This means that if you are enjoying a video and you need to switch to another app to answer an email or something, then the Premium tier will keep the audio running in the background.
Recently, the company also announced that Premium members would be able to use the picture-in-picture feature on their smartphones to play Youtube videos in the background, in case they want to multi-task.
Perhaps our favorite feature of the Youtube Premium membership is that all the videos, across the platform, become ad-free. Yes, you will not see a single ad before or during the video, which makes for some immersive viewing.
