YouTube dark mode is enabled by default on Windows 10 and macOS, but you can also turn on dark mode for specific websites by using Chrome. Below are some instructions on how to enable YouTube&#8217;s dark mode. You can follow these steps on any computer running any modern web browser. However, it is important to note that you need to be logged in to view videos in dark mode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_on_YouTubes_dark_mode\"><\/span>Turning on YouTube&#8217;s dark mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can enable YouTube&#8217;s dark mode on your desktop website or mobile app by following a few simple steps. To enable YouTube&#8217;s dark mode, go to the Google account settings and tap on the &#8220;display picture&#8221; of your YouTube account. Tap on the menu icon that&#8217;s represented by three vertical dots. Select the option that says &#8220;Dark theme&#8221; or &#8220;Use device theme&#8221; and then click &#8220;Save.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can download the Turn Off the Lights browser extension, which is available for all popular web browsers. It&#8217;s an Open-Source project that aims to improve video and web viewing experience. Once installed, you can share the link to your friends on Twitter and Facebook or report technical errors. You can also report bugs on the extension. To turn on YouTube&#8217;s dark mode, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>You can enable YouTube&#8217;s dark mode on your iOS device by tapping the circle profile icon in the top-right corner of your screen. To enable or disable YouTube&#8217;s dark mode, navigate to the Settings menu. Toggle the option &#8220;Dark theme&#8221; to enable dark mode. Once enabled, your YouTube app should appear blue on your home screen. You&#8217;re ready to watch videos in a dark theme. It&#8217;s easy to change the theme of your iOS device to make YouTube&#8217;s website look more appealing to your eyes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_YouTubes_color_scheme\"><\/span>Changing YouTube&#8217;s color scheme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Google Chrome, then you&#8217;ll want to learn how to change the color scheme of YouTube. Changing the color scheme of YouTube is easy, but you&#8217;ll need to be able to do so on your device. Mobile devices don&#8217;t allow you to install external add-ons. You&#8217;ll need to do this on your computer or web browser. Once you&#8217;ve installed the add-on, follow the instructions to customize the YouTube color scheme.<\/p>\n<p>To change YouTube&#8217;s color scheme, go to the Settings menu and select the Dark theme option. This will switch the site&#8217;s default white background to a dark one. It will also change the text colors to match the new aesthetic. Many people prefer this setting because it reduces eye strain in low-light conditions and helps save battery life on OLED screens. Others prefer it because they think it looks cooler than the default light-colored theme.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTube logo was designed to exude excitement and power. As its color scheme changed in 2017, the logo now focuses on the play button, which has become an iconic shorthand for YouTube. Other changes to the YouTube website will include a new typeface and a different color scheme. It will also undergo major changes on desktop and mobile. Here&#8217;s how to change YouTube&#8217;s color scheme:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_YouTubes_theme_without_signing_in\"><\/span>Changing YouTube&#8217;s theme without signing in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing YouTube&#8217;s theme is easy once you have your device set up. The first step is to open the app. Next, go to the Settings and then tap Appearance. From there, choose Dark theme. If you&#8217;re on an older Android phone, you can follow the guide for that platform. Changing YouTube&#8217;s theme is also possible on a computer. Open your web browser. Follow the instructions for the device you&#8217;re using to change the theme.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have made the necessary changes, go back to YouTube and open the browser of your choice. Then, click on the profile picture on the top right corner. Choose the appearance option. In the Appearance section, click on Dark theme. Depending on the system theme, you might have to repeat this step for every browser. Changing YouTube&#8217;s theme without signing in may take some time, so try it out before making any major changes.<\/p>\n<p>After signing in, visit Settings on the YouTube app. Click the &#8216;Settings&#8217; icon next to the SIGN IN button in the top-right corner. You should then see a Dark theme menu. Click on it, and a panel with a description of the Dark theme will appear. On the left-hand side, click the &#8220;Dark theme&#8221; switch to toggle the Dark theme on or off. If you don&#8217;t want to change the theme, close the app and try it again. It will remember your preference next time you visit YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Dark Mode YouTube If you want to watch YouTube videos in a dark theme, there are several ways to achieve it.
