My YouTube channel has been Betatized!!

[spicedjellybeans]

My YouTube channel has just been Betatized. I was hoping my channel would slip throught the cracks, but no such luck. I can only watch my playlists when I'm signed in, which means that no one else can watch them. My whole channel is based on playlists, as are my other three!

When I click Playlists, my VLog shows up instead. The only way I can see my playlists is by clicking them in the drop down menu below my name while I'm signed in. The public can't do this, so there's no way they can see them.

HELP! Without the playlists my channels are pointless.

I thought all the channels were like this. Mine is. What's the alternative. and what's Betatized?

Samar, Beta merely means a version which is in the testing phase. The YouTube channels are all being converted to the newest version, which has not had all the kinks ironed out, without the permission of the channel owners.

It has a completely different set up. Everything on the channel is available without leaving the front page, unlike before where if you clicked on anything it took you to a different page. Nice, but hard to get used to.

On a bright note, I got an answer from the YouTube Help Forum this quick. rewboss replied. Here is his/her answer, which worked for me, in case anyone else needs this info:

Sign in and go to your channel profile page. Just to the right of the "Playlists" button you should see a small link that says "edit": click on that to open a menu. On the right, there should be a list of your playlists: place a checkmark next to each one you want visible, then hit "Save Changes".

Oh now I get it. I did make that change last week but the window is so small that now only three playlists show. I try to get my students to use my page for further learning but it's hard to navigate. Is there a way to let it show more?
