JAKARTA - As you know, YouTube has subscription packages to get several features to make the user experience more enjoyable.

One example of a feature YouTube offers to premium subscribers is watching ad-free videos, so you won't be distracted while watching.

On top of that, premium subscribers will also get small extras like background playback and downloaded videos that are included in the YouTube experience.

As quoted by 9to5google, YouTube has finally launched a new feature called "pinch to zoom", which allows you to zoom in on videos on the screen, even in portrait mode.

According to the company's description, this feature is an experimental feature. That is, the features available there are features that are under development, and have not been fully released to the public.

For this experimental feature, YouTube is asking premium subscribers to try and give their opinion on the new feature being developed.

If in general we can enlarge the screen by pinching it in landscape mode or zoomed in, now the new pinch to zoom feature will allow you to zoom the screen 2x in portrait mode.

If you are a Premium subscriber, you can find new features in the YouTube app on Android. To do this, just click on your profile photo > tap on your Premium benefits > find the Try new features page > and activate pinch to zoom.

Please note that the Pinch to zoom feature will only be available for a limited time, which is until September 1 only. If you want to try it now, you still have plenty of time to try it.

For other YouTubers, you can probably expect to see the feature released in full at a later date, though it's not certain when that will happen.
