As YouTube announced there Redesigned UI which is being rolled out gradually to its users, although not everyone has access to this new UI design yet as its only available to few users, but will keep rolling in to all user in no time everyone will have it.
Here are the Features to expect
- Pinch to Zoom: this will allow users to zoom in on a particular scene of a video on the player, I have tested this several time it work better when you are watch on a full screen mode.
- Ambient Mode: this allows user watch video with there device color/theme mode, it uses dynamic color sampling so that the background color blends with the video color that is playing.
- Precise Seeking: this will help viewers navigate through the video they are watching easily by making use of the frame by frame steps one can easily go forward and backwards in the video timeliness.
- Button changes: the youtube buttons has changed from its original red color to a minimal color format (black or white color) there are also changes in all the buttons on the youtube apps: likes and dislike, share, Remix and more
- On the YouTube channel section: the short is now separated to a different category from long form videos, the live sections also has its own section and you can easily navigate through
This is a major redesign by youtube and I personally love minimal design and how it’s now arranged but some viewers on TsTechTalk channel don’t have same opinion, if you don’t want the new UI just don’t update the YouTube app and you will keep using the old one.
