YouTube Music, which is owned by Google, will launch a “Listening Room” program on Discord (an online voice, video, and text communication platform) in which the company’s product team will collaborate with a group of users to get regular feedback on specific features.
Users will receive a free year of YouTube Music Premium as part of the program, according to IANS.
To be selected for the program, users must be music fans, use YouTube Music as their primary music streaming service for a year, provide regular feedback on Discord through conversations and polls, and agree not to share any information, such as screenshots, pictures, or recordings of conversations or early features, with anyone outside of the Discord group.
Meanwhile, YouTube Music may soon allow users to create their radio stations.
Users can already customize their current queue by familiarity, genre, mood, energy level, and other factors directly from the Now Playing screen.
According to IANS, as part of a limited rollout, some YouTube Music users are seeing “Create a radio” in the main feed.
Following that, users will be able to “tune your music” like YouTube Music’s initial setup process.
