- YouTube seems to be checking or checking a new UI design for its player on the Web.
- The new design controls video in bubbles.
- The change of this UI was first seen in April.
Every time and then, YouTube tries to update its shape on mixed results. You will remember the reaction to the company last year when it tried to move the video title, detail, and the comment section to the panel to the right. Well, the video platform is once again with a new change in which users are divided.
On the reddate, several reports are populating about the new change of UI in the YouTube video player. Updated, especially affects the player’s video control on the web. These UI elements are placed inside the bubbles. Play/pause buttons and timers have their own individual bubbles, while the rest of the controls sit in different bubbles simultaneously.
It also looks like the volume button has gone to the right of the player on the left. Additionally, it seems that the button setting may vary in terms of user, with some users more buttons have more buttons.
This is not the first time we have seen this design. He was first seen back in April 2025. At that time, the update was an exam. It is unclear whether this is still a test that is being exposed to a new batch of consumers. But in view of the number of information, it is possible that the new UI is slowly ending. We have not yet seen updates on our devices.
As the change in any UI design, the update is being criticized. However, not everyone is in the same mind, some users feel the slightest change.
