""This includes updated controls and new icons to make the viewing experience more visually satisfying while obscuring less content," YouTube says. It started testing changes to the player earlier this year. A screenshot from YouTube shows how the new look includes rounded on-screen buttons with a little bit of translucency, though the effect isn't nearly as intense as Apple's Liquid Glass. YouTube says the new player will be available on mobile, web, and TV devices."
"The company is introducing a bunch of other updates, too. YouTube says the double-tap to skip feature will be "modern and less intrusive to your video watching experience." A new "structured system for comment replies" is intended to "provide a more focused reading experience within the replies panel." And on some videos, hitting the like button will show a "dynamic" animation, like a music note when liking a music video."
YouTube is updating the video player to a cleaner, more immersive design beginning this week. The redesign introduces updated controls and new icons intended to be visually satisfying while obscuring less content. The company began testing these player changes earlier this year. The refreshed on-screen elements include rounded buttons with slight translucency, though the translucency is less intense than Apple's Liquid Glass. The new player will roll out across mobile, web, and TV devices. Additional updates include a modernized, less intrusive double-tap skip feature, a structured system for comment replies for more focused reading, and dynamic like-button animations on some videos.
