YouTube Premium Lite, a limited subscription in some countries, has two new features. Now, subscribers can play videos and download videos offline in the background.

This means that both actions can be performed when the user exits the application or when switching to another application. This provides new flexibility for users who want to get both features with a cheaper service.

Downloading videos is very useful for some users who still want to get entertainment when internet connectivity is dead. Users don't have to worry about data suddenly being sucked while watching downloaded videos.

The background playback feature is also one of the features that is often used by Premium customers. Thanks to this feature, the sound from the video will still be played even though the device screen is locked.

YouTube said that these two features were released after listening to a lot of feedback from its users. The company wants to continue to develop products that best meet the functional needs of today's society.

"We're excited about today's update and to continue testing and developing products that best meet the needs of our users," YouTube said, quoted on Wednesday, February 25.

Even though the features have increased, advertising restrictions will still apply to music content, short videos Shorts, and search results. Users of this package will still see ads in certain categories, in accordance with the applicable license policy.
