YouTube TV: Picture-in-Picture Available on iOS 15, But Do You Need to be on Premium?

YouTube TV rolled out a new feature for all iOS 15 users with a Picture-in-Picture display, promoting multitasking or going to other apps without the need to stop one's stream. The feature is available on the latest operating system of the Cupertino giant, both available on the iPhone and iPad devices.

The only question remains if it will be available on Premium subscription only, like YouTube's Premium feature for PiP.

The team of YouTube TV is ecstatic to share with the public that a previously promised feature of Picture-in-Picture is now available on their platform for all users under iOS 15. The team said that users might proceed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen or pressing the home button while watching, and users may proceed to watch its shows and use the device for their needs.

Users need to play the video before it may be accessible via the PiP feature on the platform, and from here, it will bring the pop-up window for everyone to access. The window will float atop other apps or the home screen whenever in use, but it will stop the video when the user locks the device.

The streaming platform said that the company worked on this feature for a long time, and its promise is now fulfilled for all of its users.

YouTube TV's PiP: Only Working on Premium?

It is important to note that users may only access YouTube TV on Premium, so if they want this feature to work, they need to be subscribers to the all-in-one experience from YouTube. Users may opt to try this feature for a free trial to access its exclusive content, but after that, YouTube would charge $64.99 per month.

The company offers a $10 discount for the first three months for new subscribers.
