YouTube Music tests new ‘Cast’ button and gesture navigation in the mini-player

What you need to know

  • YouTube Music has been found working on a new feature for its mini-player.
  • The mini-player may soon add the “Cast” icon next to the “Play” button.
  • This new UI might also bring gestures to change tracks on the mini-player.

Despite being one of our favorite music streaming services, YouTube Music can often fall behind other services in implementing new features. However, some UI changes are reportedly in the works that let you cast songs from the mini-player on YouTube Music. 

According to Android Police, YouTube Music is considering adding a “Cast” button to the mini-player, which will likely be placed next to the play button and ultimately replace the “Skip” button altogether. This should add another convenient option for users to cast music to their Android TV or other compatible speakers.
