Since 2021, you have provided the "Picture In Picture" function in the beta version for iOS.This is a function that allows you to see YouTube while using other apps.

However, at this time, this function is limited to Youtube premium members.In addition, since this function is a beta version, it is necessary to access here (go to YouTube) to turn it on.

This function seems to be available on the iPad OS.According to "9to5 Google", this function may not work properly for the first hour.If it still does not work, uninstall the YouTube app and reinstall it.

The beta test of this function is until March 14th.At the end of the test, it is expected that the PIP function will be used, although the PIP function is limited to "with advertising and music content" as well as premium members.

However, when the test started in August 2021, the end date was set on October 31 of the same year.After that, the deadline has been extended at the end of the test, and has recently been postponed to March 14, 2022.

YouTube is currently conducting beta tests with a function to read comments while watching videos on your desktop.

This feature is a function that displays the comment next to it, not under the video.However, please note that these beta functions can only be used at the same time.
