Some Android users report seeing a new video player UI in the YouTube app. Many feel this new UI is too dense and cluttered.

You can only swipe down to minimize a video if it’s the first video in a playlist (or not part of a playlist at all).

That seems really daft. Things like swipe gestures work on muscle memory - but if you have yo also consciously remember whether what you're watching is in a playlist or not, it's much less intuitive.

I like swipe down to minimise and use it a lot. This feels like it could be a real pain.

Why does it now have two play/pause buttons? Also - yay, more swipey navigation gestures so you can doomscroll 40% easier...

Wonder if they are trying to go after all the public/open source apps that are pulling from their site and removing the ads.

I'm confused. Is this for the youtube app or the android mobile site?

~~Ok, because my Youtube App on my Z Flip4 doesn't look like any of those images.~~

Edit: Those screenshots are for full-screen videos, not the mini-player.
