Published on Dec 13, 2012

Watch a discussion about YouTube's new look that rolled out on December 6th, 2012.

You'll see the team that designed, and built, the update answer questions from you -- the YouTube community.

If your question isn't answered, join us for a Reddit IAmA on Tuesday, December 18th 2012 at 10am PT / 1pm ET

Click the links below to skip to a specific question within the video:

1:07 - "What motivated you to make the change? What advantages do you think come with the change?"

3:14 - "After the new layout was released, I have been receiving far fewer views on my new uploads than normal. Is this behavior intended, or is it an unintended oversight?"

5:25 - "Why was the list of Trending Videos removed? Now, I have to go to Reddit to find out what videos are trending on YouTube."

7:42 - "The default is "what to watch". People subscribe to channels so they can see those channels' videos. So the default should be uploads from subscriptions -- why isn't it?"

11:33 - "Formerly, when I was viewing a video and I wanted to view another video from this user, there was a drop-down menu that allowed me to see their other uploads. Why did you remove this when it was one of the handiest features?

14:01 - "Why not scrap the "guide" and bring back the "add/remove modules" function on the homepage -- everybody was happy with that, and we could get all the videos that we wanted to see.

18:12 - "Why is the video title at the bottom, with the "Guide" and "More Results" tabs near the top?"

20:41 - "Why is the layout not centered?"

22:00 - "What happened to the "use old embed code" option that was there when you shared a video? I use that option all the time to link to ebay and now it's not there -- this is detrimental!"

23:15 - "You dumbed down advance search -- badly. You can't filter by things like view count and upload date. What's the deal? "

24:15 - "Why isn't there a button that I can click on to go directly to my inbox from the homepage? I have to click on too many links to get to there. I should only have to click once."

24:58 - "Why did you take away the browse button? It makes it more difficult to discover new videos."

26:49 - What's next? Should we expect to see anything else in the coming months?

    and what's with all of this copyright infringement 'fuck' you guys used to say Broadcast Youself! I don't see that here anymore!! in fact i never see it.... what happened as soon as you (Google) bastards got corrupt and bought it out and started mingling with the president of the usa that's i classified things as "ENDGAME" The only people i trust on youtube now are my friends and Anonymous. Because if the rumor is true and you do want to pass legislation that we should pay a yearly sum of $20.

    Attention all users who have seen the message pop up about GoogleTube being ready to force the new changes in two weeks..do not log in anymore. Dump your accounts and move to other sites. The more we leave this shithole of a site, the more Google will lose income and revenue. Do not upload, watch, rate, comment, share, or do anything else.

    Please tell us how these changes are good? Because there are more bad reasons then good reasons.
