YouTube Premium’s New Features and Discount: What You Need to Know!

YouTube Premium now offers a variety of innovative trial features, such as the ability to jump directly to the most significant portion of a video online. Additionally, you’ll find a modest reduction in pricing; however, it comes with a condition.

Google has been proactive in introducing fresh features on YouTube to improve user interaction, and those with YouTube Premium subscriptions have access to numerous options to experiment with.

In the latest updates, subscribers have an opportunity to test higher quality audio at 256kbps bitrate and enjoy faster video playback speeds. For iOS users, there’s an exclusive experience with picture-in-picture functionality and smart downloads tailored for Shorts content.

YouTube is now introducing a “leap forward” function on its web platform, enabling viewers to swiftly move to the most viewed section of a video. Previously, this feature was exclusive to mobile users.

Participants must actively choose to be part of these trials, however, if you haven’t subscribed so far, there’s an opportunity to cut costs on the Premium membership, though this offer may not be available for all.

YouTube Premium finally drops in price… kind of

Following a substantial increase in price, which caused some users to pay up to $40 for their subscriptions, Google is now offering YouTube Premium at a discounted rate to its viewers.

Beginning January 22, 2025, subscribing to the monthly Google One Premium plan ($9.99) will entitle you to a reduced price on YouTube Premium.

According to The Verge, this $2 reduction makes the price of Premium similar to what it was in 2023, so if you’re looking for cloud storage or wish to avoid video ads, it could be a good option to explore.

The recently introduced deals and discounts coincide with YouTube’s ongoing efforts to test innovative methods for incorporating ads into their platform.

To provide an example, during the previous year, the platform introduced pause screen advertisements and intensified its battle against ad-blockers, aiming to disable them permanently by developing innovative tools that would consistently prevent ad-blockers from intercepting ads.
