YouTube Music tests live lyrics with the latest streaming interface

Such as I’ve alluded to beforeYouTube Music receives live lyrics as part of its streaming interface, which some users have already received.

When casting YouTube Music from Android phone to Chromecast Ultra, Reddit user today See the new user interface. Instead of the album cover, song name, and artist centered on the screen, they are now on the right with the text aligned to the left. This gives way to vital words being scrolled with the current verse highlighted in white. The background remains a blurred version of the artwork.

When you finish the song, you get a ‘list of approved songwriters’. U/PmMeYourChromebook also points out how the old basic UI will reappear when lyrics aren’t available.

Live lyrics when streaming music from YouTube are not widely circulated today. We started streaming to our second generation Chromecast and Chromecast sessions with Google TV to no avail.

behind in OctoberYouTube Music told users to expect “more Lyric features in the future” after the partnership with MusixMatch increased coverage. Google said there has been a “positive impact on lyrics consumption rates since its launch”. earlier this monthYouTube polled free users about what features they wanted and offered “lyric improvements” as an option.

This would also be a great feature on the Nest Hub and other smart displays, something Google Play Music offers. At the end of 2018And something from Spotify Took this yearWhich uses the same words backend.

Compared to Spotify and Apple, the lyrics available on YouTube Music’s Now Playing screen are fixed and not highlighted when playing an audio clip. It will presumably come to mobile as well, but it’s unclear if the Now Playing feature will be redesigned to focus more on lyrics or if customers will have to open the middle tab first. It was the user interface It has just been renovated on Android to hide the dislike button and display left aligned text, which is now a trend.
