Still no Kinect support, though.

A wireless keyboard isnt the answer and neither is smartglass. Sometimes my phone is chilling on the charger 5 ft away and I dont feel like getting up. Having better search functionlity is a must for YT. Its an absolute disgrace that using IE is a better
option than using the actual YT app.

Kinect Support is need for the YT app

Personally, I liked the old layout. Now most of my subscriptions are buried under promoted videos and it now takes extra clicks to update the feed.

24, the IE app is NOT a better resource for watching YouTube videos, IMO, because it doesn't allow for 1080p HD.

Dog, I can understand your take on the annoying advertisement videos (which is what I assume you're talking about), but I disagree with you on the difficulty of the layout - I personally find the newer setup easier to use AND it's more in-line with the actual
website.

I agree I love the new setup less clutter for sure! Those ads can get annoying but some of them are funny whats annoying is the ads you cant skip and theyre like 30 seconds or longer.

GG 1080p is silly. Who cares if the video is 720p or 1080p? Since you obviously do, the next time I see a resolution thread and you say it doesnt matter Im calling you out on it.

IE is a better option in my opinion because its easier to search, you can like, comment and subscribe to channels much easier than using the app. Hell just being able to comment using the YT app would be good.

It's good. Biggest improvement for me was keyboard speed. Scrolling along used to be really slow. Glad to see that's fixed.

@GG It's not difficult, it just adds some extra button presses to get where I want to go.

G am I the only one contributing here, guess I'm a bit bored. I think it looks way more cleaner, without Education Travel and a whole list of unwanted unnecessary things on the left pane. Had to scroll for several seconds just to find History, etc. Not really
now. Lots of peps including myself like using the YouTube app on Xbox 360 and Xbox 1. I can't recall the last time I used IE on Xbox 360 sometime last year. I rarely use IE on Xbox 1 but the Skype app links you to it when you want to check your account details.
I like the new look. As for the Xbox 360, no change to the YouTube app. Lots of my friends including me use the YouTube app. I've never used YouTube on the IE... I'm just not into IE on Xbox. I prefer it on my laptop.
