This is the best summary I could come up with:

YouTube is rolling out rounded edges on the main video player you see on YouTube.com, spokesperson Allison Toh confirmed to The Verge on Tuesday.

I asked about the corners after noticing them while browsing YouTube on the web over the past day or two.

(I included a screenshot of what I see at the top of this post.)

They also make YouTube’s desktop design feel more holistic since you’ll see rounded corners on a video and rounded corners on thumbnails off to the side.

Understandably, I’m only seeing the rounded corners when viewing the standard-sized video player; in theater mode, which expands the video to the edges of your browser window, the corners are still right angles.

Toh says the change is a continuation of the design updates introduced in October, which included a more precise way to fast forward or rewind.
