YouTube Premium users can stream at high bitrate 1080p

If you are a YouTube Premium subsriber, you may be excited to know that there is a new feature on the way. What we are talking about is the ability to stream videos in enhanced 1080p. This feature was initially an iOS exclusive, but it is good to see that YouTube is finally seeding the feature to all devices. What this feature gives you is bettery quality, and a more immersive experience.

And for those of us who bounce between screens while watching videos, YouTube is throwing in the “continue watching” feature for tablets and smart TVs. No more fumbling around to find where you left off—it’s like a digital high-five!

But here’s the exciting part—YouTube is diving into the AI realm. They’re serving up comment section summaries and a chatty chatbot that spills the deets on the videos we’re hooked on. Feeling adventurous? Sign up for the chatbot trial—spots are limited!

Now, let’s talk perks. Premium just got even more awesome with three-month trials for Discord Nitro, Walmart+, and Game Pass for PCs. And that’s not all—there’s a four-month zen mode with the Calm meditation app, an exclusive “in-game loot bundle” for Genshin Impact enthusiasts, and snazzy new achievement badges to flaunt your viewing prowess.

YouTube spilled the beans that it’s rolling with a whopping 80 million Premium users worldwide. So, if you’re already part of the Premium crew, consider this a fantastic bonus.
