YouTube has announced that its picture-in-picture (PiP) feature will now be accessible to non-Premium users worldwide, enabling them to watch long-form, non-music content while multitasking. This change comes with a limitation: users will not be able to utilize PiP mode for music-related content, which includes official music videos, Art Tracks, children's songs, and user-generated music. This aligns the experience of non-Premium users with that of Premium Lite members, who also face similar restrictions. It's important to note that users in the United States will not be affected by this rollout. This update reflects YouTube's efforts to enhance user experience for non-paying subscribers while maintaining certain content restrictions.
