Using dynamic color sampling, YouTube’s ambient mode adds minor effects to videos so that the backdrop color of the app matches the one you are viewing.
By adopting a dark theme, you can enjoy YouTube with a gloomy background and less brightness.
Ambient mode creates a lighting effect to make watching movies in the Dark theme more immersive by reflecting soft colors from the video onto the background of your screen.
However, several users complained that they were unable to use YouTube’s ambient mode.
This tutorial will cover the causes of ambient mode’s malfunction as well as solutions.
