YouTube has started a test period for a picture-in-picture feature for iOS users in the US
How to Enable Picture in Picture Mode on iPhone (Turn on PiP)
YouTube quietly announced the feature on its new experiments page , where it revealed that the picture-in-picture testing period will last until October 31, but only YouTube Premium members on iOS will be able to try it out. According to tech news site TechCrunch, YouTube has sent out invites to join the test to some of those Premium subscribers.
Picture-in-picture lets users watch videos in a mini player while browsing other apps at the same time. Premium members can customize where the video appears on a device and resize it by pinching to enlarge or minimize. The smaller video also comes with the standard play/pause and rewind/fast forward controls.
Tapping on the video will return users to the YouTube app. To try out this feature, Premium members will need to sign in to the YouTube Experiments webpage.
