Author Topic: new youtube update: really BIG thumbnails  (Read 1783 times)



I really wish Theater Mode made the video a little bit bigger instead of just adding black bars.

tbh i think it's pretty ok

then again youtube center makes my player big enough to not be dumb so my perception might be diff

I actually like this because it's easier to see whats going on in thumbnails now.

no im saying that's a feature you usually only see on researchsites. the video preview on mouse hover

google has put all their effort into enlarging the thumbnails and not y'know not plastering stephen colbert and pewdiepie all over the site and not giving lesser known youtubers the spotlight

i could go on and on about the broken system but i'd probably just derail the topic and look like a major idiot so

is there some sort of setting you need for this to work?

some resolutions make theater mode not work
you probably fall under that

I think it's a bit better like this so we can see the thumbnail fully and people put in a lot of effort into thumbnails so they can finally be recognized. It's a bit of a good marketing move



Holy forget they put in a bunch of different colored / new icons, it felt so weird seeing this on my account.
