The newest additions to Premium probably won\u2019t change your mind on that, whether you\u2019re willing to pay for it or not. But they might just tip the scales if you\u2019re a videophile, or you want to watch videos along with your remote friends. <\/p>\n<p>According to the latest , the new additions to Premium include a \u201c1080p premium\u201d tier of video quality, which boosts the bitrate for playback similar to VuDu\u2019s enhanced video options. At the moment it\u2019s only available on iOS devices, but it\u2019ll be rolling out to Premium web users as an experiment in the near future. There\u2019s also better integration across web and mobile devices: Premium users will see a \u201ccontinue watching\u201d mini-video if they\u2019ve paused on their other gadget, without having to dive into the Library or History tab. <\/p>\n<p>YouTube is now supporting iOS SharePlay, which allows different users to watch a video in sync while talking on FaceTime. (Only one person on the call needs to be subscribed to Premium.) Android users could already do this through the Live Sharing feature on Google Meet, likewise locked behind the Premium tier. Android and iOS YouTube apps will also get the ability to add videos to the upcoming queue without needing to create a new playlist. <\/p>\n<p>YouTube Premium remains , which is odd, since the YouTube TV service . Existing benefits (which aren\u2019t going anywhere) include ad-free playback, background playback on mobile devices, mobile offline downloads, and ad-free access to the YouTube Music app. <\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/author\/mcrider\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: Michael Crider<\/a>, Staff Writer\t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1635298804-1.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=150&#038;h=150&#038;crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Michael is a former graphic designer who&#8217;s been building and tweaking desktop computers for longer than he cares to admit.
