YouTube präsentiert neues Design und neue Features

Schon Ende letzten Monats sind die ersten Bilder zu einer eventuellen Design-Überarbeitung von YouTube im Netz erschienen.

Im Blog des Videoportals wurde nun bekannt gegeben, dass das überarbeitete Design ab sofort für alle Benutzer öffentlich ist. Ebenso wurden einige neue Features hinzugefügt und dafür andere entfernt.

Am meisten fällt wohl die neue Kopfnavigation auf. Einige Funktionen wurden aus der Liste entfernt um diese übersichtlicher zu halten.

YouTube Launches Its Redesign

Late last month, one of our readers caught something interesting: a redesign of YouTube. It boasted a new masthead, a trim and streamline interface, and new navigation. However, only a few users could see it at the time.

Now that redesign is going live for all users. If you take a look at YouTube (YouTube).com, you will see the new interface for yourself. YouTube has also blogged about the redesign, explaining some of the new features and a few that were removed. Here’s the text and a screenshot:

“You may notice something looks a little different about our masthead (top navigational area on the homepage) today, and that’s because we’ve done a bit of housecleaning. We’ve streamlined and simplified the design to focus on the primary experience of YouTube: watching a video. The left side is dedicated to exploration: finding videos to watch through search and browse. The right side is all about organization of the videos that matter most to you: your subscriptions, your recent viewing history, and your own uploads.

A few features have been removed from this area, to keep it as clean and functional as possible. Your Quicklist, all the videos you tagged to watch later, can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/my_quicklist, and the country and language pulldown menus, once at the very top of the page, are now in the footer.”
