The platform is rolling out a sleek new video player across mobile, desktop, and TV designed to feel cleaner, faster, and more immersive.
The controls are now rounded and semi-translucent, taking up less space on the screen.
Gestures like double-tap to skip feel smoother.
Comments are better organized and easier to read.
And small touches like a visual animation when you “like” a music video make the experience feel more alive.
A subtle but smart move: YouTube wants the player to disappear more, so the content itself can take center stage.
