1. Background Playback
Background Playback is a feature of YouTube Premium, with which you can play video outside YouTube in background mode. You can minimize the YouTube app while playing video; it won’t stop the music. Thankfully, YouTube Vanced offer this feature for free.
2. In-built ad-blocker
Of course, Google Ads are essential things for online creators, but some users don’t want to see them; at least on YouTube.
YouTube Vanced has built-in controls for adblocking while playing a video on YouTube. You can find the option in settings to control the ads.
3. Force HDR Mode
The HDR mode is available in some high-ended Android smartphones. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range; it can improve the quality of a video with a more impressive result. If your mobile doesn’t support HDR Mode, YouTube Vanced will forcefully enable it to provide you with the best video quality.
4. Override Max Resolution
YouTube may disable some high video resolution on your device. Thanks to Override Max Resolution features of YouTube Vanced; you can remove this limitation and watch videos in maximum resolution or whatever available.
5. Pinch to Zoom for all Devices
Pinch to Zoom feature is available on some high ended devices like Samsung Galaxy S9 / S9+ which lets you zoom any video to make it fit on the screen. But YouTube Vanced made the feature available for all devices.
6. Secondary Themes
If you are a theme lover like me, you would definitely love this feature. Usually, the official YouTube app doesn’t have any theme, but thanks to the developer; YouTube Vanced have several themes like Dark Theme, Black Theme, and a few other colors.
7. Casting Toggle
This feature lets you toggle Google Cast icon. You can forcefully turn it off even if you have casting devices nearby.
8. Picture-in-Picture Video
If your device is running on Android 8.0 or above, you can enjoy this feature. Vanced has picture-in-picture mode just like the official version.
9. Video Window Style
If you don’t like the new video window while minimizing a video, you can turn it off. YouTube Vanced have an option to choose the new style and old style.
10. Repeat Videos
You can pick any video and enable repeat video. This feature will allow you to repeat the video after it’s done. Music videos are an obvious choice, but it can be done on any videos; you can play it over and over repeatedly.
11. Preferred Resolution & Speed
You can choose a preferred resolution and playback speed to play a video on YouTube Vanced. It will automatically remember every time you play a new video.
12. Swipe controls for Volume & Brightness
