“Zoom” is the latest YouTube Premium feature!
YouTube has been presenting new options on its platform for a group of users in particular. Now, after a small but significant change, they will be able to zoom in videos and with it, among other things, forgetting to download them or use other apps for this purpose.
At the moment and according to a publication of Macrumorsthis capacity will arrive as part of a suite of features offered to premium subscribers. It should be remembered that in recent weeks the company has been launching new tools for these users, such as the image-in-image mode.
A new feature for YouTube Premium users
“Pinch to zoom” allows viewers zoom up to 8x on a video while watching it. This alternative allows you to use two fingers to zoom in on the video player. Once zoomed in, it is possible to move around and look at parts of the video more closely.
For now, YouTube Premium users are the ones who can take advantage of the program that allows subscribers access completely new features that are not fully prepared. This time, the call is to zoom in on a video on the screen, even in landscape mode.
If you are part of this user group, you can find the new feature in the YouTube app on iOS. Simply tap on your profile picture and then tap “Your Premium Benefits.” From there, you’ll find the “Try New Features” page and turn on YouTube pinch-to-zoom. Of course, it may take a while to activate until you try this new tool.
Finally, the company has announced that the test function will be available until September 1 and it may become a permanent fixture of the YouTube Premium package at some point.
