YouTube ‘Test Tube’ offers new look for opt-in users

Users of YouTube can now get a peek at the new look of the Google-owned video sharing site's video player, but they will have to opt in first.

 

YouTube said the new design is more polished and will get out of the way of the video playback - and can now scale to any screen or embed size.

 

"Our new player design has a bit more polish, gets out of the way of your video playback, and scales to any screen or embed size. Give it a spin while we continue to add features and refine the look and feel," it said.

 

Users will have to be logged in to their Google accounts to activate the feature, however.

 

Android Police said users should sign up for Test Tube, then click "get the player." They have an option to return to the original player. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
