YouTube has announced a major update to its mobile app, its website and its Android TV app. YouTube is getting a more modern look and it also introduces a number of novelties, including the ability to zoom in.
New YouTube design
YouTube has received a major makeover as the video platform becomes more colorful and the buttons are more intuitive for the user, according to an announcement on the official website. YouTube blog. Everywhere you use YouTube you will see more colors thanks to a new system called ‘ambient mode’.
In YouTube playlists and in the media player you will see color elements from the video in the background. Furthermore, the background of the dark mode has now become darker, making colors more contrasting. YouTube has also made the most important control buttons clear in the interface, such as the Subscribe button for channels.
Zoom in
A new feature that YouTube is proposing is pinch to zoom. You will be able to zoom in on details in videos as if you were viewing a photo. When you release while pinching and zooming, the image will remain zoomed in and the amount you have zoomed in will appear at the top.
Furthermore, YouTube will introduce more gestures. On the website, the Android and Android TV app you can swipe up to see a preview above the timeline. This way you can navigate more accurately to the right moment in a video. Earlier this year, YouTube also came up with two other gestures. You can double-tap your phone’s screen with two fingers to move between chapters. You can also long-press anywhere on the screen to clear the timeline.
All new features will be available on YouTube in the coming weeks. What do you think of the new look and are you already seeing it on your devices? Do you find it useful that you will be able to zoom in on videos? Let us know in the comments.
