YouTube Premium Adds Picture-in-Picture for Shorts

Shiva Ganesh

YouTube Premium now supports Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for YouTube Shorts, allowing users to watch Shorts while using other apps

This feature enhances multitasking capabilities on mobile devices, as users can continue viewing Shorts content while checking emails or browsing social media

Alongside PiP, YouTube Premium has introduced smart downloads for Shorts, automatically saving videos based on viewing history for offline watching

A new 'Jump Ahead' feature helps users skip to the most interesting parts of videos, determined by AI and viewership data

An experimental conversational AI tool allows users to ask questions related to the video they're watching without interruption
