What changes in YouTube’s Premium Lite plan?

YouTube has officially announced that users who purchase the Premium Lite plan will now get several new benefits. The plan now comes with support for background play, which means videos will no longer pause after minimizing the app or locking the screen. This feature will be useful for users who listen to podcasts or interviews on YouTube. In fact, many people don’t need to look at a screen when listening to a podcast or interview. So the users demanded that YouTube should release such a feature so that the video will not stop even after the screen is locked. Now this wish of users has been fulfilled. Now when Premium Lite plan users lock the screen while watching a video, the video will not stop. (Photo Courtesy – Pinterest)
