ATTN Nonprofits: New YouTube Channels Coming Early March 2013

YouTube has begun rolling out a new YouTube Channel design entitled One Channel to a very small small group of YouTube users. A sitewide roll out is expected in early March. The new design offers much less customization, but enables more efficient browsing of your videos and the channels that you are subscribed to, and is more tailored for smartphone and tablet video watching. To prepare in advance for the new YouTube Channels, nonprofits will need to design a new banner. To keep it simple, YouTube has released new Channel Art Guidelines that indicate a banner that is in the “Safe Area” i.e., 1280 x 350 pixels, will be visible on all devices: desktop, tablet, smartphone and TV.
