YouTube is introducing three new features designed to make your experience listening to podcasts easier and more enjoyable: On-the-go mode, Auto speed, and Ask Music \u2014 which is now expanding to podcasts.<\/p>\n

On-the-go mode offers easier access to listening controls for videos playing in the background \u2014 like skipping around back and forth. It\u2019s meant to offer Premium members a better experience while they\u2019re out and mobile.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also introducing Auto speed for more efficient listening. That\u2019s designed to smartly tweak playback speed to be faster when it detects slow speech, or optimize playback during parts that are packed with information.<\/p>\n

On-the-go mode and Auto speed were already available as experimental features in the YouTube app, but are now rolling out for all for Premium members.<\/p>\n

YouTube\u2019s Ask Music feature is also expanding to podcasts, two years after its initial launch. Though it\u2019s not expanding to more countries, it will now be able to offer podcast recommendations based on a specific genre you\u2019re interested in or depending on your mood. It will also be able to surface podcasts that it thinks you might like according to the data shows you already enjoy listening to.<\/p>\n
