Google has finally rolled out the new design for users around the world. You can get used to all the changes over time, but if you use the video service very often, you may not feel comfortable with the new interface. One objection is that the design is more suitable for mobile devices type tablets than for computers with a large monitor.
Fortunately, you can return the previous one YouTube view, which will certainly please users who are accustomed to the old design. Switching is quite simple, just a few clicks are enough for everything to be as before. So, how to get back the old Youtube design ?
Method 1: Revert to the old version through the user menu item
New design offers a modified layout of elements while watching a video, as well as a fairly enlarged font and free arrangement of individual interface fragments. But if it doesn't suit you, you can turn it off. To return the old design, you need to go to the site and log in using your account Google.
Then you should click on the icon with your photo in the upper right corner to extract the menu. Here you will find the option “Return to classic design”. Click on this item.
A window will appear asking why you decided to return to old version. This is a short survey that will allow Google to gather some information and perhaps improve the new experience to make it more relevant to most users. Select one of the available reasons by highlighting it in the list.
After selecting an answer, a window will appear in which you can (additionally) provide details about what you are not happy with in the new design. This is optional, so if you don't want to enter anything, leave the field blank.
After clicking on the “Submit” button, the page will refresh and restore old interface youtube. That's all - so you can return previous version YouTube. If in the future you want to change it again to latest version, then to do this, go to the section with the new design, and then click on the try button.

Hello friends! Just a couple of days ago YouTube video hosting announced the start of testing a new design. I tried this new product too. I will say that switching to a new design is both simple and difficult. Therefore, I will tell you and show you how to do it quickly. Personally, I was captivated by the new YouTube design, and I started using it with pleasure. I think that you won’t regret it either.
To upgrade your YouTube, you need to scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on the inscription "New tricks" .
You will be taken to a page like the one shown in the screenshot below. And on this page you need to click the button "Switch to new design" .
On next page YouTube will boast about how good it has become and offer to click a button "Try" .
The new video hosting interface will open immediately. Notice that it is now completely white. And now it is impossible to scroll to the end of the page. There is simply no end to this. Scrolling became endless.
Another novelty of the new design is that the tab "My channel" is now in a completely different place. You need to look for it behind the image of your Avatar. Now, with the new design, the Avatar has become the key to many functions of the user and/or channel owner. See for yourself in the screenshot what functions are now hidden behind your favorite Avatar.
Very interesting solution. Here on the tab you can enable the so-called night mode and your YouTube will turn almost black. By the way, I chose this particular display option for myself. If you don’t like something in the new design, you can go back to the old one from this tab.
On the tab "My channel" you will see two big blue buttons.
The first will return you to the old design, and the second will return you to the creative studio, but again in the old design. I think that soon the first button will not exist, and when we click on the second, we will get to completely different views. It's still trial version, not final, because when you change back from the new design to the old one through the menu hidden behind the Avatar, you will be asked to answer several questions regarding the new item.
Blog owners will also experience some minor changes. In principle, receiving a code for your video is no different from this operation in the old design, only there are differences in the visual perception of the entire process.
I recorded a short video with a brief overview new interface. Watch it, you will already have a certain idea. And already by this video You can decide to stay with the old design or move to the new one without waiting for it to be finalized.
How do you like the new product? Agree that reading the letters is one thing, but looking at them with your eyes is something completely different. I wish you to decide. I'm already working on the new design. Write what choice you made. What didn't you like about the new product? I look forward to your comments.
Best regards, Sergey Pochechuev.
YouTube has officially introduced the new design and made it available for all devices, it was announced on the developer blog.
Finally everything was corrected and updated interface can be enjoyed by all users. The new design of YouTube 2017 is available on PC and mobile devices.
New YouTube logo
The first thing users noticed on the site on August 29 was the new YouTube logo, in which the name went beyond the red icon. The new YouTube design will allow it to better adapt to the screen size of any device. The updated logo is noticeable not only on home page, but also in the lower right corner of the player.
Material Design
YouTube has finally switched to the Material Design style and removed everything unnecessary from the site, thereby unloading the page from unnecessary elements. YouTube has also slightly reduced the use of red in color scheme site. Gray background replaced with white, and the navigation bar became less prominent.
Video icons have become larger and more visible, and the color of links has been changed to black. Now they attract viewers more, and if you don’t want to watch them, you can hide the video by selecting the appropriate item in the video menu.
Dark Mode YouTube
As you remember, in this year YouTube added a “night mode” to relieve eye strain while watching videos in the dark. In April, users noticed that the YouTube interface could become dark and even figured out how to switch to secret mode themselves. Now you don’t need to make tricky manipulations, you just need to turn on and off “night mode” in the channel menu.
Video verticalization
Recently, the site tested a system for adjusting the playback window to the screen size, I wrote about this. And now YouTube will show vertical videos without those annoying black bars around the edges of the player.
