YouTube has unveiled a new version of its video pages which are more subdued, stripped down and simpler to use than before. The design is meant to help ease users into advanced features, while providing power users with all the functionality they want.

A lot of the changes have been managed based on user interaction, so take a read through the changes to see how they could be applied to your site:

•    The new page includes a "next up" video list and other videos in the queue on the right side of the page will be based on information about how you found the video.

•    More specific information about the video will be featured under the video and actions like sharing, rating, saving or flagging a video are grouped in one button bar.

•    YouTube has replaced the five-star rating system with a like/dislike system. According to the company people pretty much just used the one star and five star options anyway.

•    There is more prominent placement of channel/subscriber information, a new "see more videos" feature, and a change in channel banner placement.
