YouTube actively working to enhance downloads, video quality, control options, and more

YouTube has announced a wave of upcoming improvements to its Premium subscription service, addressing user feedback and promising a better experience. The company is actively working to enhance downloads, video quality, control options, and subscription plans, among other areas.

One of the major pain points YouTube is tackling is device storage issues related to downloads. The team acknowledges the frustration of running out of space and is committed to making improvements. By continuously addressing these concerns, YouTube hopes to ensure that users can download their favorite content seamlessly without worrying about storage limitations.

User control is also getting a boost. YouTube is aware of feedback regarding lost queues and difficulties accessing Premium controls. The team is actively working to streamline the process, making those controls more accessible by reducing the number of clicks needed to reach them. Additionally, they are working on ensuring that the “Continue watching” feature applies to queued videos, not just those being actively watched.

Perhaps most excitingly, YouTube is committed to providing more subscription options. They plan to expand existing offers to more regions, introduce new plans, and even explore ways for users to share benefits with friends.

Video quality is another area of focus. YouTube Premium already offers 4K and 8K video options on various devices, and last year, it introduced 1080p Premium Enhanced Bitrate for a higher quality viewing experience. The company aims to ensure members continue enjoying top-notch visuals.

Throughout the post, YouTube also expressed gratitude for the valuable feedback from its Premium members. The company emphasized its commitment to transparency and keeping users updated on progress.

YouTube is also rolling out new Premium features like AI-powered “jump ahead” and picture-in-picture mode for Shorts on Android.
