YouTube announced new functions for its Premium subscription service. Among the announced updates, automatic playback speed adjustment, improved background listening experience and artificial intelligence-supported podcast recommendations stood out. According to the information shared by the company, the new system called “Auto Speed” analyzes video and podcast content and automatically regulates the playback speed according to the content flow.
While sections containing long silences or low-tempo sections are played faster, the speed can be reduced in sections containing intense information. The new feature was initially made available to YouTube Premium users on the Android platform. The iOS version is expected to be released in the future. Background Listening Mode Has Been Updated Another innovation announced by YouTube was the “On-the-go” mode. The new interface offers greater media controls for users listening to content in the background.
In the updated design, basic controls such as fast forwarding, rewinding, pausing and moving to the next content have become more visible. The company also expanded its previously introduced “Ask Music” feature. The artificial intelligence-supported system now also supports podcast content. Podcast recommendations can be offered in line with users’ listening habits and preferences. It was stated that the updated Ask Music feature is accessible on both Android and iOS platforms.
