Google introduced absolutely perfect for YouTube new interface, changed logo, and also added night mode. How to return old design on Youtube?

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 to the previous look of YouTube, which will certainly please users who are used to the old design. Switching is quite simple, just a few clicks are enough for everything to be as before. So, how to return the old Youtube design?

Method 1: Revert to the old version through the user menu item

The new design offers a changed layout of elements while watching a video, as well as a fairly enlarged font and a 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 revert to the 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 be refreshed and the old youtube interface will be restored. That's all - so you can return previous version YouTube. If in the future you want to change it again to the latest version, then to do this, go to the section with the new design, and then click on the try button. The page will refresh and you will see the new YouTube design again.

In this regard, there were alternative methods, which allow you to force the old one back appearance YouTube. This can be done using the Tampermonkey extension Chrome browsers and Opera or Greasemonkey in Firefox.

Which option do you like better? Personally, I think the new version is more attractive, more modern and airy or something.

The SendPulse service is a marketing tool for creating a subscription base and converting casual visitors to your website into regular ones. SendPulse combines on one platform the most important functions for attracting and retaining customers:
● e-mail newsletters,
● web push,
● SMS mailings,
● SMTP,
● newsletters in Viber,
● sending messages to facebook messenger.

Email newsletters

You can use various tariffs for conducting e-mail mailings, including free ones. Free plan has restrictions: subscription base no more than 2500.
The first thing you need to start with when working with the e-mail newsletter service is to create your own address book. Set a title and upload a list of email addresses.

It’s convenient to create on SendPulse subscription forms in the form of a pop-up window, built-in forms, floating and fixed in a certain part of the screen. Using subscription forms, you will collect a subscriber base from scratch or add new addresses to your base.
In the form designer, you can create exactly the subscription form that best meets your needs, and the service tips will help you cope with this task. It is also possible to use one of the available ready-made forms.

When creating subscription forms, be sure to use an email with a corporate domain. Read how.
Message templates will help you beautifully design your letters to subscribers. You can create your own letter template in a special designer.

Automatic mailings. Content managers actively use automatic mailing. This helps automate the process of working with clients. You can create an automail newsletter in several ways:
● Sequential series of letters. This is the simplest option when, regardless of the conditions, several letters are written that will be sent to recipients in a certain order. There may be options here - series of messages(simple message chain), special date(letters are timed to specific dates), trigger letter– the letter is sent depending on the subscriber’s actions (opening a message, etc.).
● Automation360– mailing with certain filters and conditions, as well as taking into account conversions.
● Ready-made chains according to the template. You can create a series of letters using a given template or modify the template and adjust it to your needs.
A/B testing will help you experiment with different options for sending a series of letters and determine the best option based on opens or clicks.

Sending Push Notifications

Push mailings are a subscription in a browser window, this is a kind of replacement for RSS subscriptions. Web-push technologies have rapidly entered our lives, and it is already difficult to find a website that does not use push mailings to attract and retain customers. Request script for , you can send letters either manually or create auto-mailings by creating a series of letters or collecting data from RSS. The second option implies that after a new article appears on your website, a notification about this will be automatically sent to your subscribers with a brief announcement.

New from SendPulse– now you can monetize your site using Push notifications by embedding advertisements in them. Upon reaching $10, payments are made every Monday to one of the payment systems - Visa/mastercard, PayPal or Webmoney.
Push messages on the service are absolutely free. Payment is taken only for White Label - mailings without mentioning the SendPulse service, but if the service logo does not bother you, then you can use push notifications for free without restrictions.

SMTP

The SMTP function protects your mailings from being blacklisted by using whitelisted IP addresses. Cryptographic signature technologies DKIM and SPF, which are used in SendPulse mailings, increase the trust in the letters sent, making your letters less likely to end up in spam or blacklist.

Facebook Messenger Bots

Facebook chatbot is in beta testing. You can connect it to your page and send messages to subscribers.

Sending SMS

Through the SendPulse service it is easy to send mailings across the database telephone numbers. First, you need to create an address book with a list of phone numbers. To do this, select the “Address Book” section, create a new address book, and upload phone numbers. Now you can create an SMS newsletter using this database. The price of SMS messaging varies depending on the recipient's telecom operators and averages from 1.26 rubles to 2.55 rubles per 1 SMS sent.

affiliate program

SendPulse implements affiliate program, within which a registered user using your link who has paid for the tariff will bring you 4,000 rubles. The invited user receives a discount of 4,000 rubles for the first 5 months of using the service.

Hello, friends! Just a couple of days ago, video hosting YouTube 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 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 the 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.

A 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 one will return you to the old design, and the second one will return you to 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 of the 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.

In 2016, bloggers accidentally found a test version of the updated, more minimalist design of YouTube.com. In May 2017, it became known: testing has not yet been completed, but Google is already offering the updated YouTube “look” as an option, and anyone can use it.

The redesign was based on the principles of the design language that Google introduced into latest versions Android.

Fred Gilbert, Head of User Experience at YouTube:

“We don't want the UI to interfere with users. Content should always come first.”

What has changed in the updated YouTube?

• The titles of the videos, which were in blue font, are now black and are not distracting;
• “Trimmed” the sidebar menu;

• The YouTube logo, search bar and channel icons have become smaller (and the latter are also round).
• New videos now automatically load when you scroll down (you no longer need to click the “More” button).

Needless to say, it turned out great, and a return to old version YouTube leaves a painful impression.

But there are changes not only externally, but also “under the hood”. The new YouTube site runs on the Polymer framework.

Thanks to it, the service works a little faster, but the most important thing here is that Polymer allows you to add new functions - such as night mode (how to enable it is described below). The latter changes the light “background” to black, and as a result, watching videos at night becomes much more comfortable - the black color does not “hurt” the eyes.”

Without a doubt, many users would not mind the appearance of a dark mode in all applications and services, reducing eye strain. Google Company constantly improves its programs and services, adding new functions to them.

One of these innovations affected YouTube video hosting. Attentive users have noticed that YouTube has added a hidden mode that changes the white background of the web interface to gray and black.

How to enable YouTube dark mode

Click on your YouTube avatar and in the menu that opens, activate the option “ Dark mode" After this it should appear dark theme registration
