Video streaming platform YouTube recently revamped its UI with a new “ambient” mode that will add dynamic colors from a video to the app background, a darker dark theme, an updated playlist UI, and a much neater video page. YouTube will next come up with a much-needed UI change that will remove YouTube Shorts from the Videos section on the Channel Pages.
A report by 9to5Google claims that the updated Channel page layout had already started appearing for some users. The new format comes with dedicated tabs for YouTube Shorts and Livestreams, which means the shorts or live streams will not meddle with the main videos tab on Channel pages. This will make it much easier for the user to find the type of content they want to watch.
In a recent post on the YouTube help forum, the company said, “Based on your feedback, we’re beginning to roll out separate tabs for Shorts, live streams, and long-form videos on all channel pages. We’ve heard that this will make it easier for viewers to discover the kinds of content they’re most interested in when exploring a creator’s channel page, so we’re excited to bring this to you all!
As mentioned above, the updated UI has already started rolling out for some users, and for the rest, it will be available in the coming weeks. When the feature comes on your device, you will see the following tabs on the Channel pages- Home, Videos, Shorts, Live, Playlists, Community, and Channels. You will get access to filters like “Recently uploaded” and “Popular” to narrow down your search even more.
