San Francisco: Google’s online video sharing platform YouTube on Tuesday announced that it is testing a new song search feature on Android that allows users to search for a song just by humming or recording it.
According to reports, users will be able to toggle from YouTube voice search to the new song search feature, and hum or record the song they are searching for over three seconds in order for the song to be identified. Once the song is identified, users will see relevant official music content, user-generated videos, and Shorts featuring the searched song in the YouTube app.
"This experiment is rolling out to a small percentage of people across the globe who watch YouTube on Android devices," the company said.
The company also announced that it is testing bundling multiple uploads from a single creator within a short amount of time into a shelf in the Subscriptions feed. This feature aims to make it easier for viewers to find the content they are looking for, and to put less pressure on creators to upload multiple times a day.
Earlier this month, the platform announced that it started testing artificial intelligence (AI) auto-generated summaries, which will make it easier for users to read a quick summary of a video and decide whether it is the right fit for them.
