  • YouTube Premium is testing a new feature that shows recommended videos directly inside your Now Playing queue.
  • The recommendations are based on your viewing habits and appear below your queued videos, letting you manually add or play them.
  • The feature is available till April 7 as an experiment for Android users only.

Google is once again experimenting with new YouTube Premium features, and this time, it’s all about discovery. Announced today, the new feature is rolling out to Android users and adds recommended videos directly inside your “Now Playing” queue.

When you add a video to your queue after enabling the feature, you can now open that queue to discover a selection of recommended videos based on your viewing habits. It’s one of those small changes that could, in theory, make it easier to find what to watch next without hopping back to the homepage.
