(Web Desk) - YouTube has unveiled a series of new features tailored for its premium subscribers, aimed at enriching the viewing experience across its platform.

Among the updates is the introduction of picture-in-picture mode for Shorts videos on Android devices.
This updates allows users to watch Shorts content in a small, movable window while simultaneously using other applications.

YouTube is launching smart download capabilities specifically for Shorts. By analyzing users' recent viewing history, the platform will automatically download short videos for offline viewing, ensuring seamless access to content even without an internet connection.

Another notable addition is the expanded rollout of the "Jump Ahead" feature, designed to help users navigate videos more efficiently.

Viewers can skip to the most relevant parts of a video by double-tapping the screen, leveraging data insights and machine learning to identify key segments.

In an effort to further enhance user interaction, YouTube is testing experimental features, including a conversational AI tool.

Originally piloted last year, this tool allows users to ask questions related to videos or request personalized content suggestions. It is currently being reintroduced for Android users in the United States.

YouTube is experimenting with a redesigned watch page on desktops, aiming to optimize the layout and functionality for a more intuitive viewing experience.

These updates come as YouTube continues to cater to the preferences and behaviours of its over 100 million paid Premium and Music subscribers worldwide.

The platform remains committed to innovation, striving to elevate user satisfaction through enhanced features and upgrades.
