Google introduced a completely new interface for YouTube, a redesigned logo, and also added night mode. How to return the old design to Youtube?
Finally, Google implemented new design for users around the world. You can get used to all the changes over time, but if you use the video service very often, you may not feel comfortable with the new interface. One objection is that the design is more suitable for mobile devices such as tablets than for computers with a large monitor.
Fortunately, you can return to the previous look of YouTube, which will certainly please users who are used to the old design. Switching is quite simple, just a few clicks are enough for everything to be as before. So, how to return the old Youtube design?
Method 1: Revert to the old version through the user menu item
The new design offers a changed layout of elements while watching a video, as well as a fairly enlarged font and a free arrangement of individual interface fragments. But if it doesn't suit you, you can turn it off. To return the old design, you need to go to the site and log in with your Google account.
Then you should click on the icon with your photo in the upper right corner to extract the menu. Here you will find the option “Return to classic design”. Click on this item.

After selecting an answer, a window will appear in which you can (additionally) provide details about what you are not happy with in the new design. This is optional, so if you don't want to enter anything, leave the field blank.
After clicking on the “Submit” button, the page will refresh and restore old interface youtube. That's all - so you can return previous version YouTube. If in the future you want to change it again to latest version, then to do this, go to the section with the new design, and then click on the try button. The page will refresh and you will see the new YouTube design again.

Now let's look at the parameters that allow you to change the appearance of the Youtube player in one way or another.
width And height- these parameters allow you to specify the video resolution (window size). The standard sizes that can be selected directly on Youtube are: 560 x 315, 640 x 360 (360p), 853 x 480 (480p), 1280 x 720 (720p). There is nothing stopping you from specifying your size for the video window, if necessary.
frameborder- a value of 0 disables the frame around the video, respectively, if you set the value to 1, then a frame will appear around the video.
VIDEO_LINK?PARAM1&PARAM2- a link to the file and two parameters. Pay attention to the fact that after the link, there must be a question mark (?) before the first parameter, and another sign - an ampersand (&) - between the first and second parameters.
rel- This parameter determines whether the video player loads similar videos after playing the main video file. Value 1 - downloads similar videos, value 0 - does not download.
It looks like this:

Thus, for example, if you set the frame size to 852 x 480, then the maximum quality will be 480p. If you set the frame size to 1280 x 720, then the maximum quality will be 720p and so on. In any case, in full screen mode It will always be possible to switch the playback quality up to 1080p.
