Those who were concerned that YouTube will totally restrict access to 4K material to Premium users will be relieved. For the time being. YouTube said on Twitter that it has “completely switched off” the experiment that required a Premium membership to play 4K videos. Users began complaining on social networks such as Reddit and Twitter earlier this month that when they entered the drop-down menu for resolution selections, the term “Premium” appeared directly next to 4K/2160p. However, not everyone needed to have a Premium membership to play 4K films, suggesting that it was an experimental function made available to a small number of people.
