This is the new design coming to YouTube for Android
The YouTube team continues to search for the formula to engage users even more. And it is that this video portal, although it is becoming increasingly important and has more followers, it does not rest on its laurels, looking for the better experience for all of them Something that translates into important news that are yet to come. The most striking is the one that is appearing to some users, showing a new design of the application capable of changing the user experience to make it more agile and direct
And it is that YouTube would be testing a new design in some sections of its application for Android A simple change in the channel video lists, histories and other menus with a succession of videos. The idea is that, instead of thumbnails of all these videos, the list shows the videos directly occupying the entire possible size of side by side of the terminal. This not only makes it possible to better see the content of the thumbnail of the video, but also makes it possible to directly play it from the list itself, without having to change the screen or lose the rest of the content in view.
Of course, at the moment, it looks like this design change is just being tested with a limited number of users And there is no new version of the YouTube application available for download.However, some users have come across this new design, which suggests that it is an experiment launched since the servers of YouTube, and that could reach the rest of the public in the coming days and weeks if it is shown that its use is of the liked by users.
In this way, you only have to access a playlist or the collection of videos of a channel, or even in the history of videos already seen, any list being accessible now with the new design. Here all you have to do is click on these larger videos to start their playback, allowing , however, continue moving through the list of topics without affecting the video that is already running. Also, if you want to take advantage of the entire screen of the terminal, you just have to flip it and place it in a horizontal or landscape position to display the content to full screen
In addition, there is a new button in this most interesting design. This is the ability to bring the video to the lower right corner of the screen. Something that can already be done in the current version when exiting a video. However, this button now allows you to extract any video in the list and place it in this corner for viewing and continue browsingthrough the application comfortably without pauses.
For now we will have to wait and see if YouTube decides to bring this change to all users. Something that could be most successful, forcing the user to browse larger lists, but with the convenience of instantly playing the video you want without changing the page.
