Are you getting the most out of your YouTube Premium subscription? With more than 80 million Premium members and trial users globally, YouTube Premium is more than merely ad-free videos.
It provides smart, time-saving tools and additional features that make your experience smoother, more enjoyable, and more connected, wherever you are. Whether you’re a new Premium subscriber or someone who’s had it for years, there’s always something new to discover.
Control What Plays Next with Queuing on Mobile
Do you regularly bounce between music videos, vlogs, and tutorials?
Then the Queue feature is your best friend. This was a desktop-only feature, but Premium members can now enjoy it on their tablet and phone. You can create a list of videos to watch — in the order you prefer — without having to find each one individually.
Want to cut from a Bad Bunny song to the newest MrBeast video? Simply queue it up. You get to decide what’s next, and there are no ads to interrupt your vibe.
Watch YouTube Together — Even When You’re Apart
Occasionally, watching YouTube is more enjoyable when you’re watching with others.
With Meet Live Sharing on Android, Premium users can now invite Google Meet sessions with friends who can join in to watch videos in real time — even if they’re not Premium users.
iPhone users will soon have the same capability through SharePlay on FaceTime. Whether you’re separated by miles from family or simply hanging out online with friends, it’s easy to watch YouTube videos together in real time.
Continue Watching Across Devices
Begin watching a cooking video tutorial on your computer, but have to relocate to the kitchen? Or perhaps your podcast is interrupted on your way to work?
No need. With the “Continue Watching” option, YouTube Premium now allows you to resume where you started on any of your devices, Android, iOS, or web.
Switching from one screen to another is now seamless. This means no rewinding, no losing your place, and no interruptions.
Smart Downloads for Offline Viewing
Internet connection issues shouldn’t stop your entertainment. With Smart Downloads, YouTube Premium automatically downloads recommended videos when you’re connected to Wi-Fi.
These are saved directly to your library, so they’re ready for offline viewing anytime. Taking a long flight? Left video downloads until too late to download before you take off? Relax — Smart Downloads is here.
Improve Your Video Quality on iOS
Enjoy clear, sharp visuals?
YouTube Premium is introducing an improved 1080p video option on iOS, and it plans to experiment with it in web browsers in the future.
This new choice provides an improved bitrate, which results in more fluid and razor-sharp videos — ideal for fast-paced content with high detail, such as gaming, sports, or high-octane vlogs.
While standard 1080p remains accessible to all, this Premium-exclusive upgrade provides you with the optimum video experience.
