YouTube is testing a new homepage design

It seems that the service team did not calm down on last year's redesign of YouTube: now the video viewing page, which has not changed significantly for several years, is waiting for the change.

Now, when watching videos in a standard player, under the video there is a description of the video, channel statistics and the number of likes and comments. Recommended videos and Shorts are located in the feed on the right side.

The new design, which some users began to see, changed the location of the blocks in places: now video information and comments are on the right, while recommended videos go below with larger ones preview.

Here's what the current design looks like:

And here is the redesign:

The example with the new design shows that the interface is not yet complete. For example, there is a large gap between the comment panel and the recommendation list. Perhaps there will be some other block in this place - for example, an advertising one. It is also possible that the comments panel will simply be stretched by the final release.

So far, it is impossible to switch to a new design: it randomly appears for users from different countries and disappears after a page refresh. Perhaps it will be officially presented and will be rolled out to everyone already on Google I/Owhich starts May 10th.
