New Youtube layout to be in sync with Google+

Its all about synchronizing your services into one streamlined network and Google clearly seems to be doing that. Over the past few months Google has slowly redesigned each of its services to seamlessly integrate with  its social networking platform by changing the overall look and feel of each of its services to match that of Google plus. However Youtube seems to be the only service that still retains its distinct design named "Cosmic Panda", well not anymore. Users around the world have reported changes in the layout, a complete redesigned page to be in sync with Google's look and feel.


The left hand side panes have been reorganized to make it easier to view your subscriptions and videos of interest, and the overall grayish theme has been done away with. You can access specific subscriptions or get an overall roundup of all the videos.

This layout isn't availabe to all as of now, however you can enable it by following these simple steps.

Step 1
Open Youtube from Chrome and once the page has loaded hit 'Ctrl+Shift+J' on a windows, and for a Mac 'Alt+Cmd+J' to bring up the console.

PS: For Firefox press 'Ctrl+Shift+k'

Step 2
Enter the following code:
document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=jZNC3DCddAk;"
Step 3
Press enter and refresh the page. Voila! You should now have the new layout in front of you!
