YouTube May Soon Allow Users To Search Their Favourite Songs By Humming: Know All Details Here

YouTube, which is owned by Google, has revealed that it is testing a new feature on Android that will allow users to search for songs on the platform simply by humming. "We're experimenting with the ability for folks to search for a song on YouTube by humming or recording a song that's currently being played," the firm announced on Tuesday on the 'YouTube test features and experiments' page. Users in the experiment can switch from YouTube voice search to the new song search tool and hum or record the song they want to be identified for three seconds.

How will this work?

During this testing phase, participants can switch from standard voice search to the novel music search option. Users can summon the virtual music genie to identify the song with a lovely hum or a short recording lasting longer than three seconds. Once the music is identified, a goldmine of results awaits. While this amusing feature is still in its early stages, it has already captured the attention of Android users all around the world. A tiny handful of lucky people will get to see this musical experiment in action.

When Will This Feature Roll Out?

The testing stage is currently only available to a tiny percentage of Android users worldwide. The company has not provided a specific date for the feature's global rollout. Meanwhile, YouTube is testing a new feature that will improve the user experience for both producers and viewers. The platform is testing the idea of collecting many uploads from a single content provider in a short period of time into a designated segment inside the Subscriptions feed.
