This is an old feature available since 2023.

I think it was there even before that. I was watching some documentary which had Spanish audio.

Today, I saw split-screen ad in youtube for the first time. It was while watching a live stream. Live video was playing on the left side and ad was playing on the right side within the main player itself. Skip option was also available.

I think Youtube app is facing some outage or something, are you guys able to open youtube app normally without any glitch?

Edit 1: Currently Facing a bizzare issue, whenever I click on a youtube link, the app opens but instead of playing that particular video, it forcefuly opens the short videos in normal video format.

Edit 2: Seems like the issue is with one particular video shared with me, the video just starts to play and then immediately gets changed.

Edit 3: Issue resolved hopefully, apologies for the confusion...
