YouTube is often seen testing new features, which more often than not become official for everyone. The latest experiment works to improve its search capabilities by helping you look for a song even when you don't know its name. Here's what the video streaming platform plans to do.

According to YouTube's support page, a new feature is being tested, which will help you find a song by humming it. Or, if the song is playing in the background and you just can't remember its name, you can record it and find its name. And if this sounds familiar, it's because apps like Shazam (owned by Apple) are known for these features.

For this feature to work, you need to tap the microphone icon next to the search bar and either let it record the song or hum it for over 3 seconds for YouTube Voice Search to identify the song. Once and if the song is recognized, you will see the official song content and even some videos or short films by users in the YouTube app.

This feature is currently part of a test that includes select Android users globally, so there is no word on when it will be available to everyone, including iOS users. Also, we don't know how reliable this is and whether or not YouTube chooses the song or humming sound correctly or not to give the right result.
