There are a few key differences with the new UI, the most obvious being the channel profile picture and video title. Previously, the profile picture sat below the video title. The video’s title has now shifted to the right to make room for a larger profile picture. You may also notice that the channel name has been replaced with the channel’s username. For example, instead of seeing the channel name Jet Lag: The Game, you now see the username @jetlagthegame.

Additionally, it looks like Google has rearranged the buttons below the player. The notification bell no longer sits above the carousel of other buttons. You’ll now find it at the front of the line in the carousel. It also appears that YouTube has removed the text from these buttons, leaving only the icons.

In a change that appears to be far more divisive, users have also noticed a revamp to the UI in Shorts. Specifically, the buttons appear to be smaller and smoother than before. The issue is that these users think that the icons are too small and smooth-looking.
