YouTube Red PIP Not Working

[mrjetpacks]

Is anyone else having issues with YouTube's PIP feature not working? I have been experiencing issues after the 8.1 OTA update.

Not only does the PIP not work...when to press the home button, the YouTube video doesn't even play in the background.

I'm on the Pixel 2 XL

I haven't tried PIP but background play still works along w/ the no ads.

No issues here, YouTube red background play and PIP both work fine for me on 8.1

I just cleared data and cache...working fine...for now

I Love my Google Play Music subscription with included YouTube Red.
I have no problems with YouTube or YouTube PIP.
