Dailymotion Blog

2010 will be the year Dailymotion changes its clothes! Bit by bit we will be rolling out interface updates. We’ve already changed the header and our search results, and we are now proud to present our new player.

New design, new features… everything has been rethought to create a more simple, more beautiful and more intuitive player.

- A bright orange Upload Video button, easily visible and accessible.
- A dropdown menu allowing logged in users to access all their personal information from one access point next to the login. This includes subscriptions, playlists, friends and groups.
- Easy to navigate menu showing the country the user is viewing and allowing easy navigation to any of Dailymotion’s 28 other countries.
- Dailymotion’s signature themed channels are now also presented in a new page with a clear and easily navigable design.
