Which option do you like more? Personally, the new version seems more attractive to me, more modern and airy or something. I hardly get used to any innovations (for a long time I could not get used to, for example), but I really liked the updated design of YouTube. Probably even stay on it :)

Friends, share your impressions about the new design of YouTube in the comments. Did you like him? Do you consider it modern for 2017? What would you add or remove?
Google introduced a completely new interface for YouTube, a modified logo, and also added night mode. How to return the old design on Youtube?
YouTube changes
Finally, Google implemented new design for users around the world. You can get used to all the changes over time, but if you often use the video service, you may not feel comfortable with the new interface. One objection is that the design is more suitable for mobile devices type of tablet than for computers with a large monitor.
Fortunately, you can return to the previous form of YouTube, which certainly will please users who are accustomed to the old design. Switching is quite simple, just a few clicks, so that everything is as before. So, how to return the old youtube design ?
Return to the old version
The new design offers a modified layout of elements while watching a video, as well as a rather enlarged font and a free layout of individual parts of the interface. But if it does not suit you, you can turn it off. To return the old design, you need to go to the site and log in with your Google account.
Then, in the upper right corner, click on the icon with your photo to extract the menu. Here you will find the item "Return to the classic design." Click on this item.
A window will appear asking why you decided to return to old version YouTube. This is a short survey that will allow Google to collect some information and, perhaps, improve the new interface to more closely match most users. Select one of the available reasons by highlighting it in the list.
After selecting the answer, a window will appear in which you can (optionally) provide details regarding what does not suit you in the new design. This is optional, so if you do not want to enter anything, leave the field blank.
After clicking on the "Send" button, the page will refresh and the old youtube interface will be restored. That's all - so you can return the previous version of YouTube. If you later want to change it back to latest version, then go to the section with a new design, and then click on the try button. The page will refresh and you will see the new look on YouTube again.
Hello, friends! Just a couple of days ago, YouTube video hosting announced the start of testing a new design. I also tried this novelty. I’ll say that going to a new design is both easy and difficult. Therefore, I will tell you and show you how to do it quickly. Me personally new youTube design I conquered, and I began to use it with pleasure. I think that you will not regret.
To upgrade your YouTube, you need to scroll the page to the bottom and click on the caption "New chips" .
You will be taken to this page, as shown in the screenshot below. And on this page you need to click "Go to the new design" .
On the next page, YouTube will praise how he has become good and will offer to click "Try it" .
Immediately open a new video hosting interface. Note that he is now completely white. And now it is impossible to scroll the page to the end. This end is simply not there. Scrolling has become infinite.
Another novelty of the new design was that the tab "My channel" now is a completely different place. You need to look for her behind the image of your Avatar. Now, in the new design, Avatar has become the key to many user functions and (or) channel owner. See for yourself in the screenshot what functions are now hidden behind your favorite Avatar.
Very interesting decision. Here on the tab, you can enable the so-called night mode and your YouTube will become almost black. By the way, I chose this display option myself. If you do not like something in a new design, then you can go back to the old one from this tab.
Tab "My channel" You will see two big blue buttons.
The first will return you to the old design, and the second to the creative studio, respectively, but again in the old design. I think that soon, the first button will not be, and when you click on the second, we will fall on completely different types. This is still a trial version, not final, because when you return a new design to the old one through the menu hidden behind Avatar, you will be asked to answer a few questions regarding the new product.
Blog owners are also waiting for small changes. In principle, getting the code on your video does not differ from this operation in the old design, only there are differences in the visual perception of the whole process.
I recorded a short video with an overview of the new interface. Look at it, you will already have a certain idea. And already on this video, you can decide to stay in the old design or move to a new one, without waiting for it to be finalized.
How are you new? Agree that reading the letters is one thing, but to look at it with your eyes, this is quite another. I wish you to decide. I already work in a new design. Write what choice you made. What did you not like about the novelty? Waiting for your comments.
Sincerely, Sergey Pochechuev.
