what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo calm here beginning next week July thirteenth YouTube is going to be transitioning all of their channels over to a new channel design you may have seen it on some other people's home pages you may have not so I thought this would be a good opportunity to walk you through not only my new channel layout but also the new layout in general cuz you're going to be seeing it really across the entire site let's go ahead and get started the first thing you're going to notice is this new interactive branding bar I just moved my site over today so I'm still learning how to use it but you can go ahead and make this hot linkable you can actually set different modules within it to link to different sites so right here I've got it linked to technobuffalo I can go ahead and click and away I go you also have a new bar on the bottom that you can customize for uploads and different channel options if your video producer you really have more flexibility with this new channel layout but the big thing obviously about YouTube is the video let's take a look at what the videos look like one thing I should mention that as i'm clicking you'll see these little waves that sort of pull say down and that's just from my screen recording program so certainly the video is the main feature of the channel and plays right as it did on the old version but now instead of having your previous videos laid out in a grid below you've got this module on the side right here lets you scroll through all the content that the producer is done so i can scroll right down to the bottom you can see some my first videos here so here's a review i did over two years ago of my bluetooth Mighty Mouse I can click it and it starts playing right in the YouTube channel you guys just got back from dinner you can see really see how nervous I was and how awful I was in front of a camera just over two years ago so it is nice that you don't have to leave the channel to look at a new video it's all done on the same as grant think that's what YouTube was going for but what if you want to leave a comment you want a favorite it or whatever you like to do with videos let me show you how to do that right below you've got this bar that the light and do all of your main YouTube control so here's the info on it here are the comments if you want to leave a comment and go ahead and just type it in post limited to 500 character you want to see comments all comments video responses can go ahead and click right there and you can scroll through and see what there is if you want two favorite it certainly can go ahead and do that there's a lot of sharing options down so you can send it if you'd like to add it to a playlist or if you want to export it again to any of these options you can go ahead and do that nice and easily but what if you like the old version better and you want to view videos as you did before well you can click this link right below each video or you can click view comments related videos and more I'll click this one right here and it takes you to the main page that you guys were all used to and the video we'll just play as it did you can comment sort of just as you could before let's go ahead and go back and let's keep walking through the channel lesson so you scroll down certainly you're going to have your profile information that you had before right here with your name channel views and all that kind of stuff important links and channel comments you've got some more branding options and a lot of different modules you can customize this site really looks very different but functionally it's not that strange and unique it definitely is just going to take some getting used to I think that in a few months we'll all be used to it appreciate it but certainly right now it is a very big change anyway guys leave some comments down below let me know what you think about YouTube channel layout if there's a big trend that I see I will take it upon myself to email YouTube kind of let them know and give them some feedback I know they're always looking for ways to improve its never hurts to let the community speak out anyway guys I hope you enjoyed and for exclusive content be sure to follow me on twitter twitter.com / John for lakers and to learn more about TechnoBuffalo give technobuffalo follow at twitter.com / technobuffalo i'll see you guys in the next video bye bye
