Select YouTube Premium members can sign into their accounts to try out experimental perks and AI features on a limited basis, the company notified in its webpage.

YouTube Premium is the Google-owned video platform’s paid membership that offers benefits such as ad-free viewing and downloads for offline viewing.

Eligible YouTube Premium users who have Android devices can get recommended videos in their Premium queue. By opening up their queue to discover more recommendations, they can add these videos to their queue or start watching them immediately. The feature is available until April 7.

Both iOS and Android users can access more playback speeds with more precision, and also reach up to 4x on mobile devices. This feature is available until April 7 as well.

YouTube further shared that eligible users who try out the features and share feedback can get rewards in exchange for their participation.

“Sign up to give feedback. If a study is a good fit for your profile, you’ll receive a follow-up questionnaire and details about what the study involves, including next steps and location. After completing the study, you’ll get a gift card as a thank you for your time,” shared YouTube on its website.
