content navigation

YouTube is testing a revamped user interface (UI) for its Video Player, featuring several notable modifications: - The video title is now prominently displayed above the progress bar. - Channel information, including the channel icon and subscriber count, is located next to the channel name. - The view count and publication date are shown below the title. - The expand button is repositioned to the top left corner, with a new rotate button and a second playlist button above the progress bar. - In fullscreen mode, the forward and backward buttons are hidden and appear only when the video is paused in portrait mode. - Interaction buttons (like, dislike, comment, share) have been moved above the progress bar on the right side. - The bookmark feature is now under a menu, and a new Remix button is displayed by default. - A button for video chapters has been added to the bottom left of the screen. - Users can swipe up and down to navigate between videos in a playlist; swiping down to minimize a video is possible only if it’s the first video in the playlist. User feedback suggests a preference for a more streamlined design, and the final version of these features is expected to roll out soon.
