New Video Page Launching Today

We wanted to provide you with an update on YouTube's new video page, which we've been hard at work on for the last several months (you can read more about it here and here).  We're happy to let you know that today we're transitioning all YouTube videos to this new video page.  Here are some highlights:

• The channel banner placement will change.  Branding on the video page moves to a more prominently placed (albeit smaller) banner on top of the video. Please upload a new graphic, with the following dimensions: 25px (height) by max 170px (width is flexible up to this amount). Instructions on how to edit or change the banner are here. This banner will continue to link to your channel. Up until the time you update your banner, we will default to a text link that directs users to your channel.

• The "Subscribe" button will move to a more prominent location.  As you can see in this blog post, the "Subscribe" button will now be at the top of the page, to the right of your channel banner.  Now it will stand out even more, encouraging fans to subscribe to your channel and keep up with your latest content.  

• We're introducing a new "see more videos" pane.  This new "more videos" area on top of the video allows for seamless exploration of content from your channel.  Click on the arrow next to the number of uploads to access a grid displaying all of your channel's videos. This makes it easier for users to browse your whole library while watching one of your videos.

This makeover is one of the biggest redesigns in YouTube history, providing a cleaner, sleeker and more engaging platform for you, your content, and your audience.
