We saw Netflix do something similar several years ago, and now it could finally be coming to YouTube\u2014as long as you\u2019re a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/premium\">paying subscriber<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, we\u2019ve heard much about changes or potential new features coming to YouTube. And while those vary from\u00a0playable <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s and different video quality options, this latest one is about improving usability.<\/p>\n<p>I get frustrated when I accidentally pause a video or tap on an ad, wreaking havoc on my viewing experience. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>arently, the company is working on a fix, and select YouTube Premium users are seeing a new \u201cLock Screen\u201d option in settings. While in full-screen mode, this completely locks the YouTube display, so you can\u2019t tap or pause the video on accident.<\/p>\n<p>By disabling touch input, users won\u2019t accidentally pause, fast forward, or tap those recommended video boxes. However, it sounds like this is only in the testing and experiments stage, as not all YouTube Premium subscribers have access.<\/p>\n<p>To check, play a video, tap the screen, head into settings and look for \u201cLock Screen.\u201d But again, not everyone has it yet.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that most users don\u2019t pay for YouTube Premium, this could be one of several things Google tries to get more people to pay a monthly fee. For those unaware, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/premium\">YouTube Premium<\/a>\u00a0is $11.99 a month and lets you watch videos or listen to YouTube music completely ad-free, enables background playback when your screen is off, and enables downloading videos for offline playback.<\/p>\n<p>The company recently signed an exclusive deal to offer the NFL Sunday Ticket, and it\u2019ll want to deliver a top-tier user experience. We also hear that YouTube is looking at ways to ban ad blockers, improve 1080p streams with a new \u201c1080p Premium\u201d bitrate for paying customers, and more.<\/p>\n<p>These changes improve the experience and could convince users to switch to Premium. If Google delivers better streams and valuable features like screen locks, it might be enough to get people like you and me to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/premium\">sign up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/youtube-premium-lock-screen-3343038\/\">Android Authority<\/a>\u00a0<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
