New Personalized Homepage and Improved Email Notifications

By The YouTube Team

The new features included in our most recent site update are geared toward a more personalized experience for you. Check out the details...



NEW PERSONALIZED HOMEPAGE

Our goal is to give a simple answer to the question, "What should I watch today?" with a personalized, customizable homepage that makes it easy to find the videos and people that you care about. After reviewing results from our beta test and feedback from the community, we're happy to now release the new personalized homepage to all logged-in users. Since launching the beta version in February, data has shown an increase in the number of users visiting the homepage, the frequency of visits, and the number of subscriptions users make over time. So, this optimized version of the homepage not only means a customizable experience for you, but more exposure for your cool videos and channels on YouTube (Note: if you are logged out or do not have an account you won't be able see the personalized homepage).

IMPROVED EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

The email messages you receive from YouTube have been updated with a new layout. In addition to a streamlined design and many wording changes, any comments or messages are now included directly within the body of the email, saving you time.

We're eager to hear your feedback, so please let us know what you think of this latest round of improvements.
