Google Is Pushing A New Video Description UI To YouTube

The YouTube app is getting some small-scale UI changes fabricated to the description section of videos today which shifts around some of the buttons when playing a video, as well every bit adds in a new blitheness when extending the description. All of these changes are fairly small-scale and may not have been noticeable to those who don't use the YouTube app very oftentimes, and while some users might not intendance for the changes to the button locations, the 1 thing that should delight even the most minimal YouTube app users is the new animation that happens when tapping the description pointer.

As with the animations in other Google apps, the arrow on the description department spins around and points down when extended, and so spins back around and points upwardly when reverted dorsum to a complanate state. This is probable to exist the most noticeable change to the UI. Every bit for the push button locations, the just button which has really been moved to a new spot is the overflow push button which used to be located on the video itself, however it now sits down below the video alongside the actions buttons for share, thumbs up, and thumbs down.

When the new UI changes pop up on videos, which seems to be server side and non a change which comes through an update to the application, users may notice that the buttons for thumbs down, and adding the video to a listing aren't immediately visible, only instead now only bear witness upward once you tap the arrow to expand the video'southward description. When collapsed back, the simply buttons in sight are the thumbs up and the share push button. These changes can definitely be considered more minor than the revamped UI to the comments department in the YouTube app which started actualization for some users equally early as the end of last month. These changes may or may not bear witness upwardly for some users today, and if they don't the good news is that the changes don't have an impact on the functionality of the app in a meaningful enough way to make the app unusable.
