YouTube’s “Subscribe” button lights up when creators request a subscription

YouTube is currently testing a new feature that highlights the “Subscribe” button whenever the word “subscribe” appears in a video. The experimental update was spotted across a wide range of content, so it appears the platform has fully automated the procedure. Recently, it was said that the video streaming platform was also testing a few other new features. The app could soon allow users to hum tunes to search for songs. He’s also reportedly working on a redesigned “Skip Ads” button.

Spotted in a report by 9to5Google, YouTube’s “Subscribe” button lights up when content creators ask audiences to subscribe to their channel in a video. Regular YouTube users know many content creators using custom animation in the video while requesting a subscription.

YouTube is now highlighting creator statements in a new test with this feature that makes the “Subscribe” button glow in response to demand. Recently appearing for some users, YouTube is testing a new function that lights up the “Subscribe” button each time the word “subscribe” is spoken in a video. The process appears to have been automated by the platform itself.

Recently, it was reported that YouTube was testing a feature that would allow users to simply hum half-memorized tunes to find the precise song. Before YouTube makes this search by song feature available to more users, a select group of Android users will likely test it.

The platform is also reportedly redesigning the “Skip Ads” button. The new button appears to be smaller than the old one. The word “ads” would no longer be capitalized and the new box is supposed to have a slanted border with smaller letters.
