YouTube tests new 'Play Something' button: Here's what it does

YouTube is testing a floating ‘Play Something’ button on the Android application, which will randomly suggest YouTube Shorts videos to simplify content discovery, taking the user's video preference into account. The curated videos from the ‘Play Something’ toggle will enable like, dislike, comment, and share options on the right side of the screen, along with a timeline scrubber at the bottom of the player, just like any Shorts video.
