YouTube then began to check the function however later eliminated it the place it was speculated that it is because the function was solely meant for its Premium customers.

The excellent news is that if that is one thing you have been really wanting ahead to, YouTube has since introduced that they may quickly be making the function obtainable to all customers, each Premium and non-Premium subscribers. However, oddly sufficient, the corporate says that this can solely be restricted to these residing within the US.

In a press release made to MacRumors, a YouTube spokesperson was quoted as saying, “Picture-in-Picture (PiP) allows users to watch YouTube videos in a small mini player while simultaneously browsing outside of the YouTube app on their mobile device. We’re starting to roll out PiP for YouTube Premium members on iOS and plan to launch PiP for all US iOS users as well.”

It appears odd that this could be geo-restricted because it doesn’t appear to have something to do with licensing content material which might typically be geo-restricted, however hopefully YouTube will develop the function to non-US customers sooner or later.
