The popular video streaming service is getting several new features in addition to a new look while you are watching videos that adds a really cool effect.<\/p>\n<p>Google announced the improvements in a blog post today, saying that YouTube&#8217;s latest makeover offers a \u201cmore modern and immersive viewing experience while improving how users watch videos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first big change can be seen above (right) and it is dynamic color sampling in a new ambient mode.  Basically, when you are watching a video in the dark theme, splashes of color are pulled from the video into the app&#8217;s UI to create a neat effect.  It&#8217;s sort of like how you&#8217;d watch a movie at home with the lights low and the colors from your TV reflect throughout surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of the dark theme, Google has updated the YouTube dark theme to be even darker.<\/p>\n<p>In the playlist department, YouTube is getting similar visual improvements (below), where a playlist will show you more colors and more details.  In the example here, you can see the top video taking on a cover design with bigger buttons and a more visually appealing overall look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p>\n<p>As for other changes, here is what else you can soon expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>watch pages<\/strong>: Video watch pages will be \u201ceasier on the eyes\u201d with YouTube links in descriptions becoming buttons.  The action buttons (like share and download) are also getting formatted to minimize distractions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>subscribe button<\/strong>: A new shape and high contrast to the Subscribe button should make it easier to find on both watch and channel pages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pinch-to-zoom<\/strong>: Yes, pinch-to-zoom is here starting today!  This is available on iOS and Android phones.  Pinching-in zooms and stays zoomed even if you let go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Precise seeking<\/strong>: This one seems really big for those of us who constantly rewind tips and tricks-style videos.  You can now swipe up or drag up to see a more detailed seeking experience (see below).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-290367\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.droid-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking.jpg?resize=2238%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"New YouTube Seeking\" width=\"2238\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-pid=\"290367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking.jpg 2238w, https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking-270x145.jpg 270w, https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking-980x525.jpg 980w, https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking-1536x824.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking-2048x1098.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking-1366x732.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/news.google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/New-YouTube-Seeking-1920x1029.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2238px) 100vw, 2238px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Again, all of this stuff is supposed to start rolling out today on all platforms.
