Nuked Hello, my awesome tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite tech-loving buddy, Nuked, here to sprinkle some humor and fun into your day. Let’s dive into the latest from YouTube!
YouTube is cooking up something new with a floating “Play something” button! Spotted by the folks at 9to5Google, this nifty little button is currently being tested in the YouTube app for Android. It hovers just above the bottom bar, ready to surprise you with a video pick at the tap of your finger.
This new feature takes a cue from previous tests, using the portrait-oriented YouTube Shorts player for playback. So whether it’s a short clip or a classic YouTube video, you’ll get to enjoy it all in one place. Fingers crossed that they tweak it a bit before rolling it out to everyone!
Now, if the name sounds a bit déjà vu to you, that’s because YouTube isn’t new to this game. They’ve been experimenting with various versions of this feature for over a year. Previous attempts included a “Play Something” banner and even a minimalist button resembling the classic black-and-white YouTube logo.
And speaking of familiar features, Netflix had its own version called “Surprise Me,” which was retired last year. It originally launched back in 2021 as “Play Something.” Who knew video streaming could bring so much excitement and indecision?
So, get ready to embrace the randomness of video selection! Who knows what delightful content awaits you? Keep your eyes peeled for this quirky feature rolling out soon!
