Here’s how to turn on the Light Theme in YouTube:

1. Open YouTube
Go to youtube.com and sign in to your account.

2. Click Your Profile Picture
In the top-right corner, click your profile icon to open the menu.

3. Select “Appearance”
Scroll down and click Appearance — this controls your theme preferences.

4. Choose “Light Theme”
From the list, select Light theme. Your interface will switch immediately, replacing the dark background with a bright white one.

5. Optional: Match Your Device Theme
If you want YouTube to follow your system settings, choose Use device theme. This option automatically changes YouTube’s appearance when your operating system switches modes.

Pro Tips:

  • The light theme works best in bright environments where dark mode may cause glare.

  • You can switch back anytime by returning to Appearance → Dark theme.

  • Refresh your page if you don’t see the change immediately.

Switching to Light Mode is an easy way to give YouTube a cleaner, more vibrant look — ideal for creators working during the day or anyone who prefers a classic, minimal interface.
