How to Turn ON or OFF Ambient Mode on YouTube
Learn how to enable and disable YouTube’s Ambient Mode on mobile and web to enhance your video viewing experience with immersive colors.

Whether you want to fully enjoy this feature or conserve your battery life, here’s how you can easily turn it on or off on both mobile and web.
