After that, the lyrics are blurred. Users who want to keep seeing lyrics are advised to upgrade to a premium account, which costs $14 for both YouTube video and music or $11 for music only.

Want Microsoft 365? Just don't choose Premium - here's why

Microsoft 365 comes in several different flavors, both for individuals and organizations. For individuals alone, you can choose among Basic, Personal, Family, and Premium. Excluding Basic, the other three subscriptions offer desktop versions of the core Office apps, namely Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. With each one, Microsoft doles out a certain amount of OneDrive space. And as the much ballyhooed icing on the cake, Copilot AI is built in to generate content and answer your questions.

There's a good chance you spend more time talking to your phone's virtual assistant, or dictating text with your voice, instead of actually calling people these days. But, as convenient as voice input can be, you don't want to be the obnoxious person shouting commands to Siri in a quiet library. And you probably won't have much luck dictating an email in a room with toddlers screaming and Peppa Pig blaring on the TV. (Ask me how I know.)
