Open the song finderGoogle can listen, but not to a link
Google's song search listens through your microphone. You can play the video near your phone or hum the tune in the Google app (tap the mic, then Search a song).
Typing a video link into Google search will not tell you the song. For that you need a tool that opens the link and checks the audio, like FindTunes.
Circle to Search on Android
On supported Android phones, long press the home button or navigation bar while the video plays and tap the music button. Google listens to what your phone is playing.
Search the lyrics
If you can hear words, type them into Google with the word lyrics. Put an exact line in quotes. Or use the FindTunes lyrics finder, which works even with misheard words.
Fastest option when you have the link
Copy the link, paste it into FindTunes and you get the song name with your sound off. It also works for background music with no lyrics, where lyrics search cannot help.
