YouTube Launches Updated Desktop and Tablet App Layout

YouTube is rolling out a new desktop and tablet app update which utilizes an updated presentation style, and provides additional control options. As you can see here (with the old format merging into the new), the updated format provides more room for each preview panel, enabling additional context on each from the main screen. This new look includes longer video titles and larger, richer thumbnails to give you clearer information about the video at a glance, plus higher resolution video previews. As part of this cleaner design, you’ll notice we’ve also removed some content shelves. You can still find rows of videos for breaking news, music mixes, and more.
