Resolution criteria

This market resolves to "Yes" if YouTube implements a redesigned video player user interface (UI) on its website for all users by August 1, 2025. The redesigned UI is characterized by pill-shaped controls and a relocated volume slider. Resolution will be based on official announcements from YouTube or widespread user reports confirming the rollout. If the new UI is implemented only on platforms other than the website, is only available to some users, or is not released at all before August 1, 2025, the market resolves to "No".

Background

In April 2025, YouTube began testing a redesigned video player UI featuring individual pill-shaped controls for actions like play/pause and next, along with a relocated volume slider that opens as a vertical bar on the lower right side. This design aims to provide a cleaner and more intuitive user experience. (indiatoday.in)
