The new design will make the YouTube player easier to read and will include more colors and details in its videos. It will also have more subtle navigation, with buttons that match the color of the background. Action buttons will be more easily visible and less distracting, and the subscribe button will have a new shape and high contrast.
The YouTube logo is also changing. The play icon will move to the left of the title, instead of wrapping around the "Tube" portion of the website. The new YouTube icon will be easier to read on mobile devices and smart TVs. It will also change the way that links in video descriptions appear
The YouTube algorithm is constantly changing, and it is becoming more responsive to the user. Users can now pin specific topics to their homepage and choose which videos show up in their "up next" queue. These features are currently in testing on Android, and will be added to desktop and tablet versions soon.
YouTube has also introduced a new pinch to zoom feature for its video player. The new feature allows users to zoom in on videos while minimizing distractions. Users can also now zoom in on video thumbnails using a finger. The new look of the platform is cleaner and more lively. It also has more buttons and thumbnails that can be used to navigate through the website.
The homepage of the website will also undergo changes. Users will notice a smaller amount of information on the page, giving more room for videos. Additionally, YouTube will also be introducing a new feature called "ambient mode" which changes the background color to match the main video. This new feature will be available on the desktop and mobile versions of the website and will help users focus on watching video content without distractions.
Another new feature is personalised URLs, which allow users to create a personalized presence for their channel. These new features will be rolled out shortly. Personalised URLs will have the handles in the same name by default, but creators will be able to change these. The availability of these new features will depend on a number of factors, including the number of subscribers and activity level on the channel.
