Youtube - this is how you activate dark mode for the interface

YouTube is the most visited website to view videos published by various content creators, and for those who use it constantly, the company has an interesting surprise. More precisely, the YouTube website allows the activation of a Dark Mode for the interface, which means you will see a dark interface that is much more pleasant and with less impact on the eyes, especially when used at night.

Activating this dark mode for YouTube also comes with a new interface that you can enjoy, with a material design similar to that of the company's applications. YouTube has been testing this interface for some time and will most likely release it officially for everyone in the near future, but we can enjoy it right now, without any problems.

Because you will be able to enjoy this Dark Mode when using the YouTube website, you must already be logged in, otherwise the entire interface will not be able to be activated. If you do not have a YouTube account, it would be good to register one because otherwise the dark mode interface cannot be activated because the entire change depends on the use of a YouTube user account.
