[HowTo] Switch to New YouTube Channel Design - BETA 2.0

Click here: http://www.youtube.com/super_seekrit

If you're reading this, you've probably either switched your channel over to the secret new YouTube channels beta, or you've stumbled across a channel that has. Either way, welcome! We'd like to show you an early version of what we're working on.

Of course, keep in mind that our beta is very early. Things may change, or break, and we haven't finished building all the bells and whistles yet. For example, many of the editing functions aren't available yet, so you can't currently customize the order and selection of videos that show up on your channel (or choose which video is featured). And we'll probably tweak some of the UI as we go.

So why are we showing this before it's finished? Because we want you to be a part of it! If you're here, you probably care about what we build and what your channel looks like, and we want you to be involved along the way.

We'll use this blog to regularly communicate our latest channel beta launches, fixes, and releases - in other words, our release notes. And we'd like to hear your feedback in the comments section.

Why are we releasing new versions of channels in the first place? Well, here are a few reasons: * A better channel experience for your visitors - folks can browse through and watch your uploads, favorites, and playlists without needing to leave your channel * Help you enrich your channel - we'll help you customize and design your channel (and the videos on it) without ever leaving the page - and we'll give you some default themes to start with * A design refresh - yes, our corners are now rounded in many browsers, saving valuable pixels

So...how do things look so far? What do you like the most, and what do you wish was different? Let us know in the comments.

Enjoy the beta!

[Tru3m0sl3m]

Click on the username at the top and then find "Revert! I want my old channel back" just below the first Menu bar. You'll find your old menu back

We cant change back. Im sorry to people who like it, but I dont really like the beta look and I want the old channel back. Any suggestions?

[Tru3m0sl3m]

well we don't have much option over here.. Youtube is going to force its users to switch to the new layout. So i've learned to like it..
