Google is testing a new YouTube feature that lets you hum or record a song to search for it.

If you’re part of the YouTube experiment for the feature, you can hum or record three or more seconds of a song so that Google can try to identify it, according to a support page. Once YouTube identifies the song, it will show you relevant content about that song. Basically, it’s a Google-y take on Shazam, which is owned by Apple.

    It may be new to YouTube; but it’s not new to anyone who’s used Google’s voice assistant. I don’t know if it’s better than Shazam. They both have worked phenomenal for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Even if you hum off key, it is usually correct about what you’re looking for.
