Google's been working hard on integrating, enhancing, and extending Google+ across its products — and it looks like YouTube is up next, with a redesign that includes an updated look, deeper Google+ integration, and a number of other tweaks. The update appears to be rolling out in stages, and some Verge team members have access — we're looking at a dashboard with a cleanly sorted list of featured videos, recommended categories, and our subscriptions (including recommendations from Google+ Circles). Google's also made some other little tweaks, including a new center-column of homepage content with larger preview images, pop-out recommended video content, and a simpler fullscreen viewing button.

We're not sure when it's coming to everyone or what the final feature set will be, but we'll keep our eyes peeled for you.
