Google started in the first months of this year with the tests of what is a great novelty for YouTube Premium subscribers in Europe. This is a new playback option: ‘1080p Premium’. The key factor is bitrate or ‘bitrate’, which is now tested by some users on Android and Google TV. This is intended to improve the video playback experience for those who pay their subscription monthly.
YouTube Premium is a paid service that adds a lot of value to the experience of the Google-owned video platform. Ads disappear and different options have made many users pay monthly to enjoy downloading videos to play offline, or streaming to continue watching a video on the computer at the same second
Testing began in February with the new “1080p Premium” option for platform subscribers, although only it was received by iPhone and Apple TV users. In April, Google officially announced this new feature which allows all kinds of content to be played in 1080p at higher bitrate or bitrate. It has already dropped that Android devices may soon enjoy this new experience. That day has come just today.
Thanks to the Android TV app for YouTube, this new option appeared for a user on Reddit. the app works on Google TV and Android TV, and displays “1080p Premium” along with the standard 1080p option. He also explains that he brings with him improved bitrate. In fact, the app encourages YouTube Premium subscribers to enable it from the start. Also, another user on Twitter mentioned that “1080p Premium” appears on his Motorola mobile in the YouTube app for Android.
It should be noted that the standard 1080p option will be available for free to everyone, but this news is for subscribers. The bit rate what it does is include more data in the read stream streaming, in order to offer a better viewing quality of any video. It even improves the sound, although it has a greater impact on data consumption due to this increase in throughput.
The curious thing, according to 9to5Googleis that Google has already rolled out this new feature on YouTube to all iOS users, just like those on the web. As usually happens with these deployments, it will be carried out gradually until it reaches all YouTube Premium subscribers in Europe.
