63% Informative
YouTube is testing a new floating “Play something” button that will pick a video for you.
The button floats just above the bottom bar of the app, and when tapped, it picks a YouTube video to play.
The new button reportedly uses the portrait-oriented YouTube Shorts player to show videos, regardless of whether they're vertically formatted Shorts or standard YouTube videos.
