YouTube Premium adds auto-speed and on-the-go podcast modes
YouTube has introduced new features for its Premium subscribers, specifically targeting podcast listeners. These updates include an auto-speed option for playback and an 'on-the-go' mode. The 'on-the-go' mode is designed for users listening to podcasts during various outdoor activities such as commuting or working out.
Key Takeaways
- YouTube Premium is getting an auto-speed option for podcast playback.
- The new on-the-go mode is built for listening while commuting, working out, or multitasking outside the house.
- YouTube framed both updates specifically for podcast fans using Premium.

What to watch next is whether YouTube expands these podcast-specific tools beyond Premium subscribers or adds more listening controls in a follow-up update.
