The feature that this thing provides is very much beneficial. When you see most of the videos on Youtube they just turn on full screen as you play them. They restrict you to see videos only or you have to first reads comments and then see videos. But this improvement help you both. Reads comments and see video at the same time.

  • New Controls

Videos can now be paused at a certain stage and they will be permanently be there. In mean while you can see different tabs switch applications until or unless you lose the inline video. You can now slide to particular position can see the videos from there.

  • Audio and Video Playback behind the lock screen

With this feature you can lock the screen and still manage to listen to the audio play. However if you minimize the app (aka task switch away) the audio/video stream will pause.
