New channel design in YouTube!
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 by Peter ZhangAs I check out Jason Mraz’s videos on YouTube, I was surprised to find that there is a new channel design for YouTubers.
As you can see in the photo, it offers a much more clear design, and a much more efficient/easy way to access to different videos of the user. More javascript, more user friendliness, and most of all, more flexibility.
Changing your channel from the old one to the new one is easy. I’ll show you how the get and customize the new design.
Getting it
Step 1: Sign in either with an YouTube account or a Google account. Then, go into “Account” on the top right hand corner.
Step 2: Put your mouse over the big “My Account” in the middle, and select “My Channel”
Step 3: Click” Upgrade my channel!” in the middle of the page, and boom! You will now be brought to your new channel with the new channel design!
Customization
On the top of the channel, you should see a bar titled “Edit Channel”.
Under “Settings”, you will be able to set some general options for your channel, such as name, tags, etc.
Under “Theme and Colors”, you will be able to set the colors in the channel. Here is the big thing about the new channel – you will have much more options to customize!
Last but not least, you will be able to customize different modules in your channel, changing layouts, adding or deleting some “boxes”, etc.
If you want to come back again to settings again, go to Account –> My Channel –> Channel Design.
Enjoy!
