Illustration: Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube is testing a new floating Play something button that will pick a video for you, 9to5Google spotted in the YouTube app for Android. The button floats just above the bottom bar of the app, and when tapped, it picks a YouTube video to play for you.Just as in earlier versions of this feature YouTubes been testing, the new button reportedly uses the portrait-oriented YouTube Shorts player to show videos, regardless of whether theyre vertically formatted Shorts or standard YouTube videos. Hopefully that changes by the time the feature gets a wide release.Other incarnations the company has been testing for over a year include a Play Something banner and a simple button that looks like a black-and-white YouTube logo. If the features name sounds familiar, perhaps its because Netflix retired a similar random video picker last year called Surprise Me, which originally launched in 2021 as Play Something.
