Well, you can force it to open in desktop mode! You can also force it to open in dark mode. Read on to learn how to change the date and time of YouTube on your desktop computer. Hopefully, you&#8217;ll enjoy watching videos in a new way. If you have any questions, leave a comment below and we&#8217;ll get back to you shortly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_is_in_mobile_mode\"><\/span>YouTube is in mobile mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve noticed that YouTube is in mobile mode, you&#8217;re not alone. More than half of the internet&#8217;s traffic is on mobile devices, and that makes streaming videos on YouTube a must. Whether you&#8217;re watching your favorite videos on YouTube in mobile mode or on your desktop depends on your device and operating system. You may need to find the settings for your device, or search for the specific app. Once you know where to find the settings, you can switch from desktop to mobile mode easily.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a mobile device, YouTube is built for small screens. The design and layout are optimized for smaller screens, and many features are not available on the desktop version of the site. However, if you&#8217;re using a computer, you can access YouTube on the go with an updated browser. If you don&#8217;t want to switch to the mobile version of YouTube, try clearing your cookies, or reset your app data in Chrome.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_force_it_to_open_in_desktop_mode\"><\/span>You can force it to open in desktop mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Force YouTube to open in desktop mode on your iOS device is very simple. There are a few ways to do it. First, make sure your iOS device is set to accept JavaScript, which is required for YouTube to run in desktop mode. If you don&#8217;t enable JavaScript, your YouTube experience will not be fully functional. Most devices already support JavaScript. However, if your device isn&#8217;t set to accept it, you can manually enable JavaScript on your iOS device.<\/p>\n<p>For Google Chrome, you can go to the Help menu and look for &#8220;Force YouTube to open in desktop mode.&#8221; You can also press the Alt key to make YouTube open in desktop mode, as long as you have the pro version. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll be prompted to upgrade to the pro version of the app. Just make sure to attach the URL of this article when submitting a tip to Google or YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_force_it_to_open_in_dark_mode\"><\/span>You can force it to open in dark mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re experiencing the problem of YouTube opening in light mode, you can toggle the setting on your desktop computer to force the website to open in dark mode. This workaround is applicable to all browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. YouTube has confirmed that they&#8217;re working on a fix, but in the meantime, you can force YouTube to open in dark mode. To make this work, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve enabled dark mode in the browser, you can use the same procedure to change YouTube&#8217;s theme. To force YouTube to open in dark mode, simply switch to the dark theme in Settings &gt; General. Once you&#8217;ve done this, make sure you&#8217;ve updated your Play Store. If the dark theme doesn&#8217;t show up, you may want to close and reopen the browser application several times. YouTube will remember your preference when you visit the site in the future.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_fix_YouTubes_date_and_time\"><\/span>You can fix YouTube&#8217;s date and time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you can&#8217;t view videos on YouTube, it&#8217;s often because the date and time settings on your device or network are incorrect. The following steps will help you fix this problem on Android and iOS devices. In Chrome, you can clear cache data and cookies. If you&#8217;re on an iOS device, you can delete the app and then reinstall it. In either case, make sure you&#8217;ve enabled Javascript and that you have the latest version of the YouTube app.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still experiencing the problem, the first thing you should try is clearing your browser history. This will delete all information and temporary configurations, but you&#8217;ll have to re-enter data and adjust your preferences again. Press three keys at once to bring up the data clearing window. Select a time range, and then click on &#8220;Clear browsing data&#8221; to delete the items you don&#8217;t need.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L8-kajALpcc\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Put YouTube in Desktop Mode?
