The Improved YouTube is Here


We are excited to announce an improved YouTube, one you helped us build! The new site design will help you build a bigger, more connected audience by improving new channel discovery, simplifying subscriptions, and keeping your fans plugged in and aware of your new videos no matter where they are. Click here to learn more.

 



So, what does this improved YouTube mean for you as a creator?  

Here are the key changes:

  • The subscription Guide is now everywhere, and it showcases your channel activity to your fans
  • All the video information and engagement are consolidated below the video player, helping your video take center stage on the viewing page


  • We are making it easier to subscribe with enhanced channel recommendations.  

Check out this one-pager for more information.

Your feedback matters

We know change isn’t easy, so we don’t take it lightly. Our experiments show that the new design drives subscriptions and keeps fans better connected to their favorite content.  We’ll be hosting a Google+ Hangout on Air as well as a Reddit IAmA to answer any questions you may have.  Stay tuned for more information.

Let’s keep building the future of video together.

  2. Whether or not it's related, right now the "key change" to me as a creator is the broken scheduled publishing. Vids stay private unless manually made public.

  3. When I view my subscriptions I would like to see an icon, perhaps a green or red dot which indicates whether a channel is currently subscribed to my channel.

    That way I can decide whether I wish to remain as a subscriber to certain channels.

    ReplyDelete
  4. You took away being able to subscribe via e-mail using the subscribe button on a channel.

    Is there any other way to subscribe via e-mail other than the subscription manager page now?

    This is a hassle, when one has 900+ subscriptions and now to toggle the e-mail option for new subscriptions I have to hint down the channel after adding it.

  5. It's been proven that YouTube's constant misguided homepage changes have decreased views inordinately! Some people I follow (and big channels too) lost 60% of their viewership in a month last time this happened even though they were slowly rising upwards until that point.

    The fact is nobody cares what even their most favorite 'Tubers are liking and subscribing to when they're on the homepage. They want their subscriptions and a lot are too lazy to head over to the Subscriptions tab. They've even removed the "uploads only" option which everyone I know was using. I just wish the site would give people a decent homepage, because they've been improving on nearly all other matters...

    1. Agreed.
      -Most people who still try to use the poor feedback forum of the Google+Tube, don't even use the homepage, but instead have a link to their own page.

      I do that too, just to go past the mess-of-a-homepage.

      Delete
    2. I agree so much. All the homepage needs to have is a list of new uploads from your subscriptions. All the other jazz can be on a separate page where people who are bothered can go and look if they want to, in the same way that they've stuffed the subscriptions away now. YouTube isn't supposed to be a social network in the sense we want to know what other people are liking or commenting on. It's supposed to be a video site where we come to watch the videos from the people we subscribed to.

      If that happens then maybe not only subscribers will increase for the select few YouTube seems to cater for now, but for smaller creators across the board. YouTube was never made for money. YouTube was never made so a few big creators could gain and the rest could lose out.

      And finally, please, please listen to what we say. Don't promise you'll consider feedback and then churn out something like this. Just look at the comments on this page, on the site, on your Twitter, on every other associated site and you will see that this is not what people want. This was a bad move, YouTube.

  6. Why'd you get rid of the front page memory for people? And the extra white space and all, while cleaner looking, is starting to get to the unfriendly, sterile level of clean for me. And if your going to make any more changes can you PLEASE ALLOW US TO SET WHAT THE SIDEBARS ARE?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I agree with M3gabyt3, I really liked being able to subscribe to email updates on the video page. Why change something like that?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I've not yet got this new design on my main channel, but on my second channel i have the new homepage and I dont like how we have to click around Just to see our Subscriptions. You need to realise that people come to YouTube to watch videos, not to social network. We have Facebook and Twitter for that. I'd hope to see the watch page channel banner return too, as I used that as a means of promotion.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I find it fascinating that the link to "learn more" hasn't actually been updated to the new layout. It is still showing the old (read: current) layout as being "new"

    Time to slow your roll YT, a new layout every 6 months seems to be too fast even for your own media team to keep up with!

  10. You guys sure do like adding extra clicks to your site! To see videos I subscribed to, all I had to do before was go to youtube.com and click on new videos OR x them if I'm not interested. NOW, I have to click "My subscriptions" then "Uploads only" and if i don't care for a video, I have to click two more times to "hide activity".

    haha, I understand this is the final template, but sure do hope you guys take suggestions and AT LEAST make the "My subscriptions" page default when i go to youtube.com because no offense, but I am more interested in seeing videos from people I subscribed to than videos you suggest for me. Hey, maybe if I get bored I'll click on "What to watch" and see your suggestions :)

    thanks <3

    ReplyDelete
  11. Not a fan of the whole "What To Watch" section. I've been using this interface for about a month now (don't know how, but I have) and I seem to miss out on some of my subscriptions new videos.

    How about two columns. One for subscribers? And one for recommended videos? You do have a lot of white space to work with here after all.

    Also, I'll integrate my Google Plus username to my account as soon you allow me to take the name of my page rather than my actual name.

  12. I hate it. I'm sorry but I just want things to go back to the way it should be.

  13. Also! It no longer tells me when I have new comments :(

  14. hi i want to know can you have a banner if you are not a partner i heard there is a new thing, you can get monotorize add even if you are not a partner. Can you still put a banner? Do you get money from it because i don't. I've tried creating a google ads they told me i should just monoterize my videos. so what should i do because i can't link it and do not get money.

    ReplyDelete
  15. "improved"? REALLY?? there isn't a GOD DAMN thing improved about this! this is a total crock of shit update i can't find anything , NOTHING is in a sensible place at all and i can't view ANY of my subscriptions or my comments and i have NO way to put it back the way it was WTF you tube? THIS IS COMPLETELY REDICULOUS!! the last updates were crap, this is COMPLETELY USELESS! Are you trying to piss people off and drive them away for good? because that's ALL these constant changes are doing , half of my subscriber base has gone on to other things over your stupid "changes" this is an idiotic design and i am NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH IT!!!

    1. I know it says "Your feedback matters" but everyone knows that is so~ far from the truth. If everyone, literally everyone, on youtube said they hated the new design do you know what would happen? Nothing! Because they do not give a flying F. As long as they think it has a .00000000000000001% chance of getting them more money, they'll do it.

      Delete
    2. you are correct! have you seen the new number of ads they are putting on now? and how much of that revenue do you think the content creators are actually going to see? Not holding my breath for my adsense revenues going up anytime soon. Someone pointed this out to me earlier, bring up facebook and you tube side by side. notice anything remarkably similar? i personally didn't sign up for youbook or facetube someone needs to get their head out of their ass on this one and put things back where people can actually use and enjoy them

  16. Why is the search filters don't have sort be Views anymore?

    ReplyDelete
  17. This is horrible! We should be able to default it back to the way it was so that we can choose to see just uploads from our subscriptions. And why doesn't it show when we have new comments?!?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Please CENTER the layout. Don't want to look to one side of my iMac. It'll get even worse when I upgrade to a 21.5".

    ReplyDelete
  19. I feel like my youtube experiance has been severely reduced because of the chages, for one when I do a youtube search to look for the most recent, I now cannot exactly look as the filters only go for most popular, today, week and month rather then allowing me to see what has been posted currently, it's not even in order of upload time when being clicked on today. Another problem mentioned before is not being to instantly seeing what my current subbed channels are uploading, instead I now have to click all the way through to get to where I want to be.

    Please can you at least do beta runs before just up and changing the scheme without warning or letting the user be able to revert back.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Center the video player.
    "What to watch" is useless.
    The new color scheme is too sterile.

  22. You have left aligned the enter layout. Now, the video and everything else sits on the left side of my gigantic 40in screen.

    Did you not have the foresight to realize how stupid of an idea that is? You've basically made using a fullsize window a non-option unless you like to either
    a) look at the left side of the screen the entire time you watch a video,
    b) physically shift your body in alignment.

    Both being unacceptable. CENTER-ALIGN THE DAMN CONTENT.

    ReplyDelete
  23. This is the stupidest fucking shit I've ever seen. You people make the site look worse and worse. First the user profiles, then the main pages, then the video pages and now this.

    You people obviously don't know what the fuck you're doing to continue this shit and completely lie saying its "smoother and simpler". Let Apple have the shitty smooth white website, and go back to the basics. At least let us choose you fucking assholes.

  24. Ok, I can dig some economical redesign here and there but this left aligning is the most retarded thing ever. Please center it. Also, name of the video should be more noticeable.

    1. I presume the entirety of the old format is not going to be an option anymore. One of the nice things about the old format was the drop-down menu of other things a video producer has that one can look at while running one currently. Now, to look at their list, everything stops and yer in a new page. This is stupid. Please erase this new format and return to what you had going. Or at least allow us to choose between the two. This 'new and improved' format is just plain ugly. Can't look at it it's so ugly.

  26. This is absolute terrible, at least with the last version people could get use to it! this thing has no colour, the only thing thats "simple" is your brains when your made this because alls i see is red and white. With alot of boring things that my sub's have written and liked.. I DONT WANT THAT, i want to see whats NEW on my home page, not old videos that relate to previous videos iv watch, it makes me want to never be able to go onto youtube again and find something better because what you've done is just pathetic.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow, this redesign is impressively shitty. My favorite part is that I now have to dig around in the inbox to see if I have new comments rather than just getting new comment notifications on the homepage. Also, I like how I have to make two mouse clicks on the homepage just to see new uploads from my subscriptions. And it was a nice touch to justify the entire design to the left. Real creative. I look forward to the next redesign in 6 months when you will surely give the word "shit-tacular" a new meaning.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Don't fix what isn't broken. How about thinking through and getting some people to test the "improvements" before forcing everybody to use it?

    Also, what was the point in small changes like making the dislike bar grey? Why do you guys insist on making changes just for the hell of it?

  29. Sort by rating?
    Sort by view ?
    Sort by date ?

    I do not want to view some trolling, useless and bad videos while i am searching for something. The kids always put a fake thumbnail picture onto their video and make people click on it.

  31. instead of fixing things like for example the comment system which is really bad

    you must be having shitty developers there on youtube

  33. Terrible. Half of my viewing space is big empty white space. Are you not aware of how much of your demographic is browsing Youtube at night in a dark room? This hurts my eyes. At least give us the ability to change this white background to a darker color! And what happened to the ability to scroll through a Youtuber's previous videos with the timeline above the main video window?

    Seriously, change it back. Nobody likes having to relearn where all the groceries are when the store gets changed around.

  34. I do not like the new layout as well.

    Please consider reverting back to how it was (At the moment 98% of the responses to your most recent layout changes are not positive)

    Or give the option to change and edit themes. Being able to change the background colors, and other options would be greatly appreciated I am sure as well. (at night time it is painful to look at with its current settings, The old layout was much easier on the eyes)

    It definitely needs to be centered.. I could see if I was running this on a mobile device as probably not looking too bad, but on my desktop and laptops which have wide screens it looks very bad with everything aligned to the left side.

    And there are issues with notifications on new comments / messages and stuff. This is going to turn people away from using your website, I have avoided it as well since the switch as it gives me a headache with how bright and clustered everything is. Please definitely consider reverting back or fixing these things..

    I like using YouTube, and have been a member since 2004, but with these changes definitely considering using a different provider more and more each time you guys change things drastically around.

  35. For all things good in this world, change the home page feed to subscriptions. That's all I ask. I don't care about the bizarre white space. I don't care about how the "More From" button shows the oddest section of videos. I just want the ability to see my subscriptions on the home page. Not activity, not "recommended" videos, not 2 week old subscription videos. Just videos I CHOSE to be notified about.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Why cant we please have the following option:

    Landing page is:

    - what to watch
    - my subscriptions
    - social

    And if you pick my subscriptions also another option to:

    - All acitivity.
    - Uploads only.

    Its incredibly annoying having to make 2 clicks each time you visit youtube.com just to see the things i am interested in.

  37. I use PowerPoint 2010 and don't have the option to embed video into this with the check box "Use old embed code". This is an option as an educator I want to be able to use as well as have my students do this as well.

    Disappointed in this new design which is difficult to view (please center!!) and unfriendly.

    ReplyDelete
  38. From what I can see, this new failed experiment has a 99% disapproval rating. I've never seen a major website fuck up SO BADLY. Who designed this shit? this has to be the working of some undercover agent from another site, there's no way you could make it THIS AWFUL without doing it on purpose. I had to check the calendar to see if this is one of your April fools jokes. It's so bad, I honestly thought you were joking.

    There's a box, it goes FUCKING ABOVE the current video that's playing. And you know what it does, it shows you IN ORDER the other videos made by the same channel. You don't remove features. That's not simplicity, that's mental retardation. Stop making everything so bad. Don't just fire the team that fucked this up, have them deported. Call them names, belittle and throw rocks at them. THEY ARE NOT GOOD PEOPLE.

    Allow users to opt out of this obvious bullshit. I can't fucking use the site anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I really dislike it, please revert back.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I HATE this version. Please believe me, I understand that new changes require an open mind that will allow the person to adjust. I loved the last version and I adjusted to it right when it was released.
    READ MORE ABOUT THE THINGS I HATE ON THE NEW ONE:

    TOO PLAIN: It looks like a glitch or an unfinished website. And... too much white? Think of a theater, it's dark around and comfortable for the eyes. Bring in some gray to the sides.

    NOT CENTERED: It is SO uncomfortable for the whole website to be shifted on the far left side of my browser on a big screen. The video should be the center of my attention along with all the info.

    CLUTTER UNDER VIDEO: Info such as channel, subscribe, and title should've stayed at the top. The video is now a bit too high on my screen. Again, makes it less centered.

    NASTY HOMEPAGE...

    LIKES:
    - I like the user pictures on comments and channel owners.
    - Fixed Subscription issue.
    - I like the new playlist videos on the side

    EVEN Google + looks better. Hulu looks great so mash something like it to create something beautiful. You guys rushed and didn't wait for opinions from users.

    1. This is basically what you guys did, you screwed up everything to benefit only the creators so they can get more subscribers, but at the same time, you let a 2 year-old design this cheesy new look that will make people not want to use YouTube anymore. You tried to fix something that was not broken.

  41. The placement of the video on the screen just hurts to look at. I don't understand why it's at the top of the screen, with the title and subscribe smooshed underneath. It feels very unnatural, and all the whiteness makes it feel sterile.

  45. OK, now I shouldnt have to click the subscriptions button on the front page to see my subs. They should be there by default, not this "what to watch" rubbish!

  46. and the youtube partner mini-banner on the watch page???

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm all for changing a website to improve usability and appeal, but this seems to be a bad redesign
    - Why is everything left aligned? I have to stare at squished together controls on the left side of my screen while the right 50% of my screen is empty space.
    - I'm not interested in what people like and what comment they left on someone's video. I want to see their uploads, popular video, actual 'content', not the byproduct of the content
    - The watch page mini banner is gone and it was a great way to customise and stand out

    I assume it's to make the format fit Google TV and other home entertainment systems, but it looks unappealing and is not a UX improvement. While I won't cry for the old design back, this really needs to be rethought

    ReplyDelete
  48. "Improved" isn't exactly the word I would use.

    The only things I have noticed is that Scheduled Publishing was broken and the homepage became less user friendly for all of the reasons I'm sure are in comments above.

    I had finally grew to the the layout a few days ago, everything worked well and I generally just liked it. I guess there's not choice but to get used to this new setup but I definitely can't see how anything has "Impoved".

  50. Videos aren't centered
    Actual content people want to watch (subscriptions) is not given the main focus to purely benefit partners
    All the white looks terrible and massively detracts from the viewing experience if it's a dark video (coupled with the horrendous left alignment this makes youtube nigh on unwatchable for some videos)
    The ridiculous guide on the left can't actually be hidden from videos leaving the entire page mismatched on both sides on a decent modern resolution.

    Frankly, the only positives to the new layout are the things you haven't changed. This is a massive cock up from everyone involved.

    ReplyDelete
  51. PLEASE! make it show my subscriptions "uploads only" as default
    And maybe make it show somewhere on the homepage some icons that idicates new comments, private messages, contacts and maybe even how many overall likes / dislikes I've got :D?

    Geez. Even google search Image have new looks. The filter search used to be on the left. Now its on top. Seriously WHY? IMO, most people nowadays using widescreen not a square monitor. I hate when I need to click more,scroll more.

    Same goes to youtube. Even some features are gone. Now I cant see the uploader video list when I see his/her video(meaning I have to enter his channel to know how many vids uploaded). I have to browse more and there is also empty white space and the youtube not centered at all. You don't leave something unfinished. Seriously I dislike this update.

    Please bring us the old youtube! I have using youtube for years and I believe most user are used to have the old look instead a complicated new look which are said cleaner.

    If i choose 720p in window, i want a real 720pixel height of the frame.

  62. Ok so i dont mind the new layout some features are not perfect like the alignment but that can be fixed by rescripting just google realign youtube but my major problem comes from losing another Full Partner only feature which was the watch page channel icon now all we have left to distinguish us from every other channel is a channel banner and standard instream ads thats it i would love to see a feature added for us partners not taken away or given to anybody even if they dont have subscribers like monetisation and thumbnails was.. The best idea i could think of is a video page background for partners only that we can add our own imaging to just like the VEVO channels have...

  65. I must be one of the unlucky ones that has been putting up with the new improved....spit spit....youtube homepage for a couple of months now. I seem to have been part of a beta test group or something. It was really crap when my homepage was first changed some readjustment was made but it is still crap. I have got used to click click click to get to my subscibtions uploads only. But why youtube do you recommend to me vidoes I have already watched? I dont want to see what you think I want to watch or other channels you believe I should view . I couldnt care a flying fig what others people are watching or liking. But above all else I would like the powers that be to at least listen to what people are saying to you. You didnt listen to the feed back you got during testing. Lets hope you listen know and get the basics correct.

  66. Fuck you, youtube, what happened to you? I just want to see my subscriptions (filling the entire screen, not 1/3 of my screen) and THAT'S IT.

  69. Perhaps this new user interface was designed for a different type of user than me, and I'm fine with that, but I'd really like if it was flexible enough to make possible the experience I used to have.

    The thing is: I am really not interested at all on any activity other than my subscriptions' uploads. To check this on the new interface, I have to click on "My subscriptions" and then on "Uploads only" every time I open Youtube. It's annoying.

    A simple option on the Settings to make "My subscriptions" the default page and the "Uploads only" the default filter would make me a very happy user.

    Also, I don't get why it's all aligned to the left now...

  71. The new update is fine, BUT I would REALLY like to be able to choose UPLOADS ONLY again. I don't care what my subscriptions like or comment on. I think I speak for a lot of people on this one.

  72. Losing the 'most recent' option is a terrible move. It is pretty vital in a lot of newsgathering work, particularly on major breaking stories.
