How-To enable some new YouTube designs

Moritz Tolxdorff found some nice gems hidden in YouTube’s website. The first thing he found and shared on Google+ was a new design, that you can enable with the help of a little cookie:

1. Go to http://www.youtube.com
2. Press Ctrl + Shift and J in Chrome to open the Developer Tools
Press Ctrl+Shift+K in Firefox
3. Click on the “Console” Tab and enter
document.cookie=”VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=ST1Ti53r4fU”;
4. Reload the website and enjoy the new layout.

To disable it simply use:

document.cookie=”VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=”;

The second thing Tolxdorff discovered was an updated YouTube Uploader.

Update: Here’s more about YouTube’s channels preview. Thanks @nikstohn.
