. In a blog post published Monday, the company said it’s adding new tools inspired by feedback from its YouTube creator community and viewers. Perhaps the first thing users will notice are color changes intended to make consuming videos easier on the eyes. In addition to new vibrant colors, an ambient mode will allow the app to adjust the background color to match the video. An update to YouTube’s dark theme aims to make colors pop more on screen.
Meanwhile, a new tool will let users fast forward or rewind to the exact spot they want to in a video — a potentially useful feature for when watching a tutorial. Other changes include a pinch-to-zoom tool, allowing users to zoom in and out of a video on mobile devices while it still plays, and a handful of tweaks coming to the video player.
The 1 thing they could do to improve youtube: Do not take the volume from 2 to 12 when an ad starts playing. I'm watching a video at a reasonable volume, then suddenly someone is Screaming at me to buy their product. I no longer use youtube because of this.
