What to know before activating dark mode

Before you change your appearance settings, take note of the following: 

• Dark mode shows supported pages with a dark background and light text. Light mode shows a white background with dark text.
• Supported pages: Dark mode is currently only available on the video upload page, the video editor, and private video recipient view pages. 
  • Unsupported pages, such as the accounts settings page, will default to light mode. 
• If you are a member of a team or workspace, your setting will not impact the view settings for other team members.
• Your selected mode will remain the default for all supported pages.
