But what are its advantages? And how do you disable it? This article will explain how to get YouTube&#8217;s dark mode. First, you need to open the YouTube app and log into your account. From there, tap on the profile icon, and then tap on Settings. Select the &#8220;Dark theme&#8221; option. Then, you can change the theme to match your device.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_YouTubes_dark_mode\"><\/span>Disadvantages of YouTube&#8217;s dark mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s dark mode is an option for viewers who want to watch videos in a more dark environment. It allows viewers to watch videos that contain little to no contrast, allowing them to focus on the action rather than on the color of the screen. Moreover, it helps conserve battery life, which is important because white pixels consume more power than black ones. However, if you&#8217;re not convinced, read on to learn the pros and cons of using YouTube&#8217;s dark mode.<\/p>\n<p>As for the disadvantages, dark mode is not the best option for all users. YouTube&#8217;s dark mode may cause eye strain and dry eyes, but some people swear by it. This option is best suited for users who experience sleep problems. YouTube has not yet made any formal study about the benefits of dark mode. However, the research behind it suggests that it does reduce sleep disturbance and reduce eye strain. Although YouTube does not guarantee that dark mode will reduce eye strain, it does help users who need to watch videos in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>The disadvantages of YouTube&#8217;s dark mode include a decrease in screen brightness. It is still possible to watch videos in a dark environment without experiencing eye strain, but the video quality will suffer. Also, users must ensure that the brightness settings are adjusted correctly to avoid eye strain. In addition to this, YouTube&#8217;s dark mode may affect battery life, as it saves up to 15% of screen energy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_enable_it\"><\/span>Ways to enable it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Enabling dark mode on YouTube is a great way to save battery life and avoid the white background. It can be enabled on the YouTube mobile apps as well as the website. To enable the dark theme, you must be signed in to your YouTube account. Click the menu button at the top right corner of your screen and choose &#8220;Appearance.&#8221; You can also choose to use your device&#8217;s theme or light theme.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the theme on YouTube is very simple. First, sign in to your YouTube account and click on your profile icon. In the top right corner, click on &#8220;Appearance,&#8221; then select &#8220;Dark Theme.&#8221; You can then choose to match your YouTube theme to your device&#8217;s color scheme. This way, YouTube will look great on all your devices. You can also change the theme on your PC. Just make sure that the theme you choose matches the one you&#8217;re currently using.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to enable dark mode on YouTube is to download the Turn Off the Lights browser extension. This extension works with any web browser and is Open-Source. This will make the YouTube interface less distracting and give you a more immersive experience. If you&#8217;re not on an account on YouTube, you can also share the link to the extension to friends and family, and report any problems. You can also use it to turn off the lights on other websites as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_disable_it\"><\/span>Ways to disable it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are having trouble viewing your favorite videos on YouTube in a dark theme, you might want to turn off dark mode. To do so, open YouTube in your browser and click on the profile icon in the top-right corner. Then, click on the settings tab and select Dark Mode. Then, refresh your page to see the video you want to watch in a darker color scheme. You can also change the theme for the entire website by visiting YouTube&#8217;s official website.<\/p>\n<p>To enable dark mode, you must be using Firefox or Google Chrome. The browser extension can be downloaded on your computer. You can also enable it in other browsers. This extension works on YouTube sites that use the native color scheme for their content. It&#8217;s an open-source tool that allows you to enjoy videos in a dark theme without suffering from eye fatigue. Though it&#8217;s not available on every browser, it is compatible with all the major web browsers and is free.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using YouTube on your smartphone, the dark theme will help reduce glare and improve the viewing experience. It&#8217;s also less distracting, reducing the risk of eye strain and discomfort. In addition to being more pleasant to the eyes, YouTube&#8217;s dark theme will help you see the content in its true colors, helping you to concentrate better on the videos. This feature is available on YouTube Android apps and makes your viewing experience much more pleasant.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"509\" height=\"285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w4h5MYqoaL8\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get Dark Mode on YouTube YouTube recently introduced a dark mode, and users have been asking how to enable it.
