YouTube Changes Its Video Player After 10 Years — Users Are Not Happy

YouTube has started rolling out a new video player interface on its website. The platform is replacing its old design, which had been in use for nearly ten years.

The updated player shows pill-shaped buttons for play, pause, next, chapters, and volume. The bottom black gradient has been removed, making the controls more visible on the video.

However, many users are not happy with the change. The biggest complaint is about the volume control. In the old UI, users could scroll on the volume bar to adjust the sound.

In the new design, this feature no longer works. Users say they cannot scroll or use the arrow keys to change the volume. This makes volume control slower and more difficult.

Some users have the new interface, while others still see the old one. Reactions online are mixed, but most feedback is negative.

YouTube has not confirmed if the missing scroll feature will return. For now, many users are calling the new UI a downgrade instead of an improvement.
