It&#8217;s a fairly simple process, but it&#8217;s worth mentioning that this option is not available on all mobile devices. You can turn on YouTube&#8217;s dark mode by changing its channel icon. Alternatively, you can change your device&#8217;s default mode from light to dark. Chrome users can also enable dark mode for all websites they visit.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_dark_theme_reduces_glare\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s dark theme reduces glare<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although YouTube&#8217;s dark theme isn&#8217;t a world-changing innovation, it will certainly help conserve battery life and reduce glare. Its dark background will help you watch videos in the evening without glare, and it also looks good while you&#8217;re watching them. To enable YouTube&#8217;s dark theme, go to Settings &gt; General and toggle the switch next to &#8220;Dark Mode.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve done so, reopen the YouTube app to restore your new preference.<\/p>\n<p>To enable YouTube&#8217;s dark theme, you must be using Android version 10 or higher. Go to Settings &gt; Appearance &gt; General. Tap &#8220;Dark theme&#8221; to enable it. Alternatively, you can use the guide below to switch the YouTube app to dark theme. After enabling the dark theme, close the YouTube app and launch it again. You should see the dark theme with a different color scheme.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_makes_colors_pop_more\"><\/span>It makes colors pop more<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to make the colors on YouTube more vibrant, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. YouTube&#8217;s Dark Mode is a new way to watch videos, which makes them stand out more and improves the viewing experience. You can toggle the color scheme on and off, or enable or disable it completely. Below, we&#8217;ll go over how to enable YouTube on dark mode. Hopefully you&#8217;ll enjoy it as much as we do.<\/p>\n<p>To activate YouTube on dark mode, click on the channel icon or the device&#8217;s theme. Alternatively, if you&#8217;re using Windows 10 or macOS, you can change the default app mode to dark. Lastly, you can turn on dark mode for every website, including YouTube. If you want to watch YouTube in a dark environment, you can save your battery by turning the mode on. To do so, go to Settings &gt; General &amp; Security -&gt; Dark Mode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_reduces_blue_light\"><\/span>It reduces blue light<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is available in dark mode, but there is no direct way to enable it. However, by tweaking certain settings, you can enjoy watching videos in a low-light environment. Besides, the dark mode can save your battery life and ensure that you are able to focus on the video comfortably. Follow the instructions below to activate dark mode in Chrome and Firefox. Users of Windows 10 can also activate dark mode in the Chrome browser by typing &#8220;chrome:\/\/dark&#8221; in the Console.<\/p>\n<p>To use YouTube on dark mode, log into your Google account. Next, click on the &#8216;profile&#8217; icon. Tap &#8216;Dark mode&#8217;. Now, toggle it on. You can also reverse the process and turn off the dark mode again. Using YouTube in dark mode can save your battery life. It will not stop your brain from falling into dangerous conspiracy theories, but it will protect your eyes from the harmful effects of blue light.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_available_on_Android\"><\/span>It&#8217;s available on Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube dark mode is now available on Android devices, and it&#8217;s available in the Google Play store. It&#8217;s a long time coming, but the new dark mode should be available for everyone instantly. To enable dark mode on YouTube, you first have to update the app from the Google Play store, and then tap on Settings &gt; General. From here, you&#8217;ll see a Dark Theme toggle. Tap it to enable the dark theme across the entire app. Depending on your Android version, you may also see a prompt on the app&#8217;s home page.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can enable YouTube&#8217;s Dark Mode directly in the app. To enable it, open the YouTube app and navigate to your Google account&#8217;s display picture. If you&#8217;re not logged into your account, you&#8217;ll want to tap the Menu button (three vertically aligned dots). From there, you&#8217;ll need to tap the Dark theme option. Then, tap on the option for YouTube in the context menu.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"196\" width=\"351\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w4h5MYqoaL8\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Put YouTube on Dark Mode If you&#8217;re tired of the bright, glaring videos you&#8217;ve been watching on YouTube, you may be wondering how to put YouTube on dark mode.
