When we switch to the new layout after the December 1st updation in YouTube. Every channel holder will have an option to go for new YouTube channel.
If we click on the new channel design option in YouTube, you will see a half cooked channel with only feeds of my favorite video and uploaded video mixed together with date order. Annoyed of seeing my well structured channel in jumbled manner.
I bet most of the regular YouTube channel owners got annoyed seeing this act. Most of the present channels run in such a randomness and only big brands have the proper channel layout. Misunderstanding waved all over that new YouTube channel layout is completely a paid option. Funny fact I observed was very active channel run old YouTube layout instead of the new free more customizable YouTube layout.
Setting Change Needed for Proper Looking New YouTube Channel Design 2011:
Click on the Edit Channel Option: There you will find 3 tabs, I Guess most of them miss the 3 tabs there because of dull color.
1. Appearance: In the Appearance option in the edit my channel option you have the option to switch back to the old channel design. Due to this difficulty most opted for the old design. Avatar option to add new avatar to the channel. Background have 2 options again we can upload background image or choose a color. Do it appropriately according to your interest.
2. Info and Setting: In this channel you can see the normal option of Channel Title, Description, Tags. The Important option here is the Default tab option.
In default mode the tab will be feed tab mode. For a good channel to display I think we should change it to Featured tab option.
3. Featured Tab Option: In the third option choose the Enable featured tab option for your desired YouTube structure. If you run a business, then opt the structure according to the online brand management for the YouTube channel. Then save the Edit Channel Option.
4. YouTube New Channel Design Social Connects and Links: If you had seen some of the YouTube channel, they have been displayed social connects such as Google Plus, Twitter, Facebook and other links on the right side. Here is the solution to customize your YouTube channel for it.
