YouTube PiP mode rolling out to non-Premium users outside the US

06 April 2019
It works only on devices running Android 8.0 Oreo or later.

Mr. T, 06 Apr 2019Youtube I need this. make it available globally.If PiP mode is your priority, then why not download YouTube Vanced instead? It's far better than YouTube itself to be honest, and I'm pretty sure PiP mode was already included inside ever since Google announced it in theirs. Besides, you're getting the bells and whistles of what YouTube Premium has to offer, for free. So why wait when u can already have most of the features found in the original YouTube using YouTube Vanced?

    Mr. T, 06 Apr 2019Youtube I need this. make it available globally.I have a grey-market (Hong Kong) phone, LG G6, with Stock Firmware Android 8.0 Oreo.
    I have the option in the menu.
    However, I don't have PiP for the App. If I play a video in either Minimised, Standard, Fullscreen.... it will pause the video as I hot-switch to the next App (eg Chrome) or if I hit the Home button.

    This is opposite to Google Maps. When I'm navigating, and I hit the Home button or Switch Apps, the Navigation continues to run in the background and the Maps app becomes a small PiP floating tile that defaults to the bottom right side of the screen.

    So no. Everyone has the option, because the Standard YouTube App can do this for a long-time now, but it required a key to unlock the feature. In the next couple of updates, perhaps the feature will get unlocked for all users.

              Didn't realise that wasn't an option. I've been using YouTube Vanced for ages and PiP works fine on everything.
