The live lyrics function is not currently available for all songs

Meanwhile, it has been noted that the live lyrics function is not currently available for all songs. As a result, users may have to wait a little longer to obtain live lyrics for their favourite song if they are not yet accessible.

The functionality was initially seen in April of this year, and an earlier source stated that the live lyrics significantly enhance the font size and spacing compared to the static lyrics now accessible on YouTube Music.
