YouTube may be getting a pair of new features that could be serious upgrades, especially for those who use the popular video streaming app regularly.
First up, YouTube Premium subscribers are getting early access to yet another feature — 2x playback speed. According to YouTube, this feature will allow Premium users to watch videos at twice the normal speed just by long pressing anywhere on the video player while a video is playing. Do that, and the playback speed will automatically increase by 100%. You’ll know you’ve successfully executed the experimental gesture when a “Playing at 2x speed” message pops up at the top of the video.
