YouTube picture-in-picture may be globally expanding beyond the premium membership\u060c<\/p>\n
Picture-in-Picture (PiP), the feature that lets you watch videos in a floating window while using other apps, is a must-have for many mobile users. While Android has had PiP built into the operating system for some time, the YouTube app itself has been more selective about its availability.<\/p>\n
Until recently, only YouTube Premium subscribers outside the United<\/a> States could take advantage of PiP, unlike in the United States where free users enjoyed this benefit. However, this seems to be changing, as reports<\/a> circulate<\/a> non-Premium users in Europe suddenly discovering access to YouTube's PiP feature.<\/p>\n In a confusing way, like Android Font<\/a> notes, YouTube official support page<\/a> still maintain that PiP requires a Premium subscription outside the United States. Additionally, the functionality was not reproducible when tested outside of Europe. This leads to a few possible scenarios:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even if expanded PiP access becomes official, some restrictions may still apply. YouTube's support pages indicate that even in the United States, where non-Premium PiP debuted, music videos remain unavailable without Premium. Some copyrighted content could be similarly restricted for free users. This corresponds to the rollout of PiP in 2022 to non-Premium users on iPhone<\/a> and iPad in the United States. At the time, YouTube specified “non-music content” as the scope of the PiP extension.<\/p>\n While the evidence currently looks promising, it's too early to say for sure whether YouTube's PiP will be widely available to non-Premium users outside of the United States. It will be interesting to see how YouTube continues to balance providing access to PiP for non-Premium users while respecting copyright restrictions. As the platform evolves, it is likely that further updates and changes will follow.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" YouTube picture-in-picture may be globally expanding beyond the premium membership\u060c Picture-in-Picture (PiP), the feature that lets you watch videos in a floating window while using other apps, is a must-have for many mobile users.
