Redesigned Video Watch Page on YouTube mobile devices 1 Recommended Answer 283 Replies 2885 Upvotes
Hi everyone,
A few months ago, we redesigned the YouTube Homepage for desktop and tablets (previous announcement). Now, we're bringing the same spirit of this cleaner design to YouTube’s video watch page on mobile – we hope this update helps you connect with your favorite content and creators more easily.
Over the next few weeks, this update will become available to everyone using YouTube on mobile devices. Here's what you can expect with the new design:
- Post a new comment or see a comment preview directly below the video player, above your list of videos to watch next. From the preview, simply tap anywhere to view all, like, and reply to comments. We hope this makes it easier for you to connect with others and discuss the video you're watching – in our early experiments, the number of people leaving comments increased by 10% on average with this new design. Learn more.
- Videos in the watch next section have larger thumbnails and longer titles, so you can see more info about each video at a glance. You’ll also notice channel icons below each video to help you recognize your favorite creators while you scroll through the feed.
- New types of content will appear alongside videos to watch next, such as Community Posts from your favorite creators, which may be text updates, polls, images, GIFs, and more. You’ll also see YouTube Mixes, which are tailored playlists created by YouTube featuring videos from the channel you’re watching, or that you recently watched.
Here are some FAQs if you have more questions:
GENERAL FAQ
Q: Which comments show up in the preview section?
A: We consider a variety of signals. For example, how people are interacting/engaging with the comment and if the creator has given the comment a heart.
Q: How do I view all comments on the video?
A: You can tap anywhere in the comment preview to view all comments while you continue to watch the video. When viewing comment replies, tap the back button to return to all comments or tap the X to go back to your main watch feed.
CREATOR FAQ
Q: Will my pinned comments show in the preview section?
A: Since there is limited space in comment previews, pinning a comment doesn’t automatically guarantee that it will appear in the preview section. However, when someone taps to view all comments, your pinned comment will continue to show first.
Q: Do my current comment moderation settings still apply to the preview section?
A: Yes, all comment moderation settings still apply to the new comment preview section, including blocked words and hide users. Learn more about how to manage and moderate your comments.

@Ricsi: Through our experiments, we found the number of people leaving comments increased by 10% on average – meaning more people are writing comments. The goal is for comments to be easier to find/access, as you don't have to scroll through all up the watch next videos first.

It feels like they tried to “hide” the comment section. It’s there but harder to see and people will comment less because of this. How is this an improvement?

I now have the new layout on my mobile app and I don't like how big the thumbnails are underneath the videos. Is there any way to change it back to the old layout?

When is this problem solved? YouTube Help Community Experts excesses !
Hello .
Why YouTube Help Community experts are allowed to delete other users ’answers Although these answers do not violate the policies of Google Help Communities ؟
Why are some YouTube Help Community experts allowed to infringe on the rights of other users and prevent them from participating in the forum ؟
Why is there no way to report YouTube Help Community experts who infringe on the rights of other users and prevent them from participating in the forum?
The person known as Dietmar and Didi deleted all the posts that I posted last March and April and the matter was not investigated nor punished.
There should be a way to solve this problem and punish all forum experts they harass other users and delete posts from the forum randomly and for no logical reason.
An emergency meeting should be held, this problem should be discussed, and all YouTube Help Community experts who abuse their powers should be punished.
