YouTube Music is testing song lyrics casting

It might not be like the recently launched Apple Music Sing feature, but it looks like YouTube Music wants to at least catch up with Spotify. Reddit user u/PmMeYourChromebook spotted a test running on the music streaming service where scrolling lyrics are shown alongside the album art and track details on a compatible display. The Reddit user tested it on a Pixel 6 Pro and Chromecast Ultra.

The feature looks like it's optimized for larger screens as it shows a few lines of lyrics at a time, with the current line highlighted as the song goes. It's similar to Spotify, although that shows most of the lyrics it can as the track song continues. For songs with lyrics available, they will pop up as soon as it starts. The album art is relegated to the right side with the title and singer. Songwriters are credited near the end of the song. It's unclear when Google plans to bring this to YouTube, but we'll keep our eye out for it.

In the markets where Google's Sleep Sensing feature is available, it'll remain free for an extra year. Initially, Google planned to integrate the feature built into the Google Nest Hub 2nd-gen into Fitbit Premium this 2023. But now, on its product page, it mentions that the sleep tracking will be "free of charge through 2023." The company is likely to work on improving the feature before charging for it. So, you can hold off on that Fitbit Premium subscription if you haven't subscribed yet.
