YouTube is spreading the joy of multitasking by rolling out its free Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode to all users around the globe. This nifty feature lets you keep watching videos while doing other things on your phone, and it’s no longer just for those in the U.S.
For those not subscribed to YouTube Premium, PiP is available for longform, non-music videos on both Android and iOS apps. Simply start a video, exit the YouTube app, and voilà—a mini player pops up that you can move and resize. Perfect for when you’re texting or scrolling through social media while catching up on your favorite content.
Premium users don’t miss out either. They continue to enjoy PiP for all content, including music, ensuring an uninterrupted experience.
