Launch of new tool for subscribers
A new update to the video streaming platform will allow premium subscribers to use two fingers as pinchers to expand the image on their mobile screen. Once zoomed in, you can move the frame around and take a closer look at certain parts of the video. To hear about how the utility is doing, YouTube will collect user feedback on the new zoom feature, which will be in beta for some time. The Pinch to Zoom feature can be accessed through the platform settings menu.
How to check if it's available?
If you are a premium YouTube user and use the Android operating system, just follow these steps:
- First tap on your profile picture;
- Then click on “Your Premium benefits”;
- Enter the pagetry new features” to find the “pinch to zoom” feature;
- Finally, you can activate the tool.
Also, it is important to say that this “beta test” will only be available until the 1st of September. However, we couldn't confirm if this new feature will reach regular YouTube users, but who knows maybe in the future? Therefore, premium users end up coming out ahead with this differential.
Other features allowed on the platform
These tests, which involve Premium users, are routinely performed. Other key features, including voice search and playlist reordering, have been added to the app this way, starting with subscribers.
Google is always considering ways to improve the app for its popular streaming video. Recently, YouTube Premium released the long-awaited Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, which allows you to watch videos in a scrolling window while using your mobile phone. Along with PiP mode, YouTube already allows users to set their screen in landscape mode for recording. This is a great feature and one that many people like, even for taking pictures.
