YouTube has introduced a new feature that allows you and your friends to vote on songs in shared playlists. This update is available for YouTube Music users on both Android and iOS devices. With this feature, everyone in the group can help decide which song plays next, making it easier to create playlists that everyone enjoys.

To use the voting feature, you first need to create a playlist in YouTube Music. Once you have a playlist, you can invite friends to join. After joining, each person can add songs and vote on the tracks already in the playlist. The songs with the most votes will move up the list, so they play sooner. This makes it simple to keep the music fresh and suited to everyone’s taste.

The voting system is designed to make group listening more interactive. It is especially useful for situations like road trips or parties, where several people want to have a say in the music. Instead of one person controlling the playlist, everyone can participate by voting for their favorite songs. This helps avoid arguments over music choices and ensures a fair rotation of tracks.

Playlist owners can manage who joins and can remove people if needed. They also have the option to turn off voting if they want to keep full control over the playlist. The feature works for both public and private playlists, giving you flexibility in how you share music with others.

This update is part of YouTube’s efforts to make music listening more social and collaborative. By letting users vote on songs, YouTube Music aims to make group experiences more enjoyable and inclusive. The feature is rolling out now, so you can try it the next time you plan a group event or a long drive with friends.
