YouTube: Enable dark theme - how it works

To pass the time or when you need entertainment, you may use YouTube. However, you should also take care of your health, especially that of your eyes, while doing so. For this, YouTube has introduced the Dark theme, which protects you from the effects of blue light.

How to enable night mode

By using YouTube in low light conditions or in the evening in dark theme, you reduce the risk of getting headaches.

1. Open YouTube in your browser and log in with your user data.
2. Now select your profile picture and a menu will open where you can adjust the settings of the app.
3. Select the option "Dark theme" and click on it.
4. You will now be given an explanation of the "dark theme".
5. Click on the blue switch and the theme will be activated.
6. If you want to undo the setting, you have to click on the switch again. Das Dark-Theme wird dann deaktiviert.
7. Achten Sie darauf, dass diese Einstellung von YouTube nur für den Browser hinterlegt wird, in dem die Einstellung vorgenommen wurde.
