YouTube is testing a floating ‘play something’ button.

YouTube is testing a new floating ‘Play something’ button that selects a video. Nine to Five Google Found in the YouTube app for Android. This button floats just above the bottom bar of the app, and tapping it will select the YouTube video to play.

Like previous versions of the feature that YouTube has been testing, the new button reportedly uses the vertical YouTube Shorts player to display videos, whether they are shorts or standard YouTube videos in vertical format. I hope this changes by the time the feature is released widely.
