TL;DR

  • YouTube is updating its search filters menu.
  • A new filter has been added, two have been removed, and two have been renamed.
  • The menu has also been reorganized.

When searching for a video on YouTube, you can refine the results by opening the search filters menu. On desktop, you’ll find the button for the filter menu near the top right of the screen after you begin a search. You’ll have to tap on the vertical three dots in the top right corner if you’re on mobile. If you frequently use these filters, the menu will look a little different soon.
