Picture-in-Picture Feature Can Be Accessed By Free YouTube Users In Europe

JAKARTA Picture-in-Picture is one of the most useful features for YouTube users. This feature will keep the video playing even if the user leaves the app.

If users want to open another app and still want to watch shows from YouTube, the pop-up from YouTube will be visible at the top of the screen.Pop-up can be moved to any side and can be removed by users.

Over the years, this feature has only been available to YouTube Premium users. However, based on Android Police's findings, this feature is being developed for YouTube users who don't subscribe to Premium.

This free Picture-in-Picture support was discovered by several YouTube users in Europe. They said that this feature could suddenly be used without the need to subscribe. This feature works on Android and iOS devices.

In contrast to what users in Europe feel, YouTube still insists that this feature is only free in the United States. This statement was made some time ago when a user questioned the feature.

"If you are outside the United States, you need a Premium YouTube membership to use PiP (Picture-in-Picture) with any content on YouTube," said the Team YouTube account on platform X some time ago.

It is not yet known why this feature can be accessed by non-Premium users in Europe. If YouTube plans to make its features publicly available, Europe will be the second country to be able to access the feature for free.
