- YouTube may add another feature behind its premium Paywall
- A new report says a sound quality check with three levels arrives
- It could strengthen that premium -function set, but continue the trend of putting more features behind a membership
YouTube apparently draws all stops to remain at the top of the streaming slot for both video content and YouTube music, and while answering our requestable video quality requests a few years ago, the platform has not yet offered the same to audio.
However, this may be on the horizon of YouTube as new tips point to an upcoming feature that allows you to control the sound quality when watching videos.
Thanks to Android Authority, who has seen new strings in the YouTube Beta app, there is fresh evidence suggesting to YouTube’s next big upgrade. It would essentially give you the freedom to adjust the sound quality of the video you are watching.
These could come in three different options; Normal, YouTube’s standard audio, high, an improved bitrate setting and auto, which can simply be an automatic setting depending on your internet speed. It seems too good to be true, right? With YouTube there is always a catch.
According to Android Authority’s finding, YouTube’s audio quality feature will only be available to those subscribed to YouTube Premium, and even then there is a possibility that this feature can only apply to certain videos in its endless library with content.
It’s hard to find out when YouTube is launching this feature as it only exists as a few coding lines at the moment, but if YouTube decides to continue with it, it could be one of the platform’s most notable upgrades in the last few years.
It looks like YouTube will do almost anything to get more people signing up for their YouTube Premium service, and these attempts to lure you in have emerged quite often. A few weeks ago, YouTube launched its cheaper YouTube Premium Lite Tier in the US, packing ad -free content on ‘most videos’ but exclusive offline or background video playback.
As long as I can remember, adjustable video quality settings have been part of YouTube’s series of video improvements, but they have had no influence on audio playback. The audio quality of YouTube videos has always been dependent on the uploader, so if the audio control rumors are true, it could make wonders to get more audiophiles to jump on the YouTube premium trolley.
