MUMBAI: YouTube is upgrading the way users listen to music and watch music videos on TVs by introducing new Display options, including live lyrics.
A new “Display” button now appears between Thumbs Down and Save when watching a music video. This feature allows users to customize their viewing experience by selecting:
• Video – The standard music video experience.

• Lyrics – Live scrolling lyrics displayed on the left, similar to YouTube Music.
• Artwork – A centered album cover with a blurred background, plus song and artist details.
These Display options also appear when playing a song from the YouTube Music tab or app shortcut, allowing users to quickly switch to a music video version. The selected mode (Video, Lyrics, or Artwork) remains consistent across songs and videos.
This update provides a seamless, lean-back experience for enjoying music on smart TVs. The feature is rolling out with YouTube for Android TV version 5.22+, and users on other smart TV platforms are also starting to see it.
