YouTube: Video portal makes premium feature free

Who doesn’t know it? Particularly attractive functions on many online platforms are only available to paying premium users. This annoys some casual users who find a premium subscription not worth it. This changes with an update on YouTube.

A feature that was previously only available on YouTube Premium is making it into the “for free” section. The sleep timer, which is also known from televisions, can now be set free of charge to automatically stop the playback of videos after a certain time. A practical function if you watch videos in the evening before you go to sleep.

In addition, you can look forward to the following innovations on YouTube in a blog post from the video platform:

• Improved mini player: The mini player can now also be moved to the display in the mobile app. Its size can be individually adjusted.
• Shared playlists: Collaborating and sharing playlists with friends and family is simplified and expanded. You can send special links and QR codes to easily add other people to the list. New personalization customization tools allow you to design or automatically create custom playlist thumbnails using your own photos.
• Badges to collect: You can now earn and collect “Reward Badges” that show your support for different creators and content on YouTube and YouTube Music. Examples include: “Quiz completed correctly!”, “Creator tagged your comment with ID,” “Top listener of your favorite artist,” or similar milestones.

Finally, YouTube is also increasing the image quality for streaming the provider’s videos on the television in order to improve the personalized TV experience.
