Google seems to try out a really cool feature on Youtube. This new feature will let you find your desired song very easily by just humming it. Yes, you heard it right. It is now possible to search a song on Youtube by just humming its tune. You can record a part of that song, and YouTube will tell you what it is. This feature was first introduced in Apps like Google Assistant and Soundhound. It's like having a super smart music detective right in your phone! 

Let me tell you how you can take advantage of this feature. First, you need to switch to the special music search mode on YouTube. Then, hum the song or record it for at least three seconds. After that, YouTube will show you the video that has that song. It could be the official music video, a video someone uploaded, or a short clip.

However, there’s a catch, right now Google has given the access of this new feature to only a few lucky people who use YouTube on Android phones. Google has rolled out the beta version of Youtube for the testers. The tech-giant wants to see how well it works and if people like it. So, if you don't have it yet, don't worry. It might come to everyone later.

Apart from that, Google is also testing another cool feature on YouTube. When you follow multiple channels and sometimes you miss their latest videos because you forget to check each channel. So, Google is testing a way to put all the recent videos from a channel in one place. This way, you can see what's new without going to each channel.
