About YouTube Focus Mode

YouTube Focus Mode removes all distractions when you're on YouTube — sidebar recommendations, the homepage feed, end-screen cards, Autoplay/Up Next, and Shorts shelves are all hidden so you can focus on the video you actually chose to watch. Use the toolbar popup to toggle Focus Mode on or off instantly without reloading the page. Your preference is saved automatically. No data is collected. No ads. No tracking. Just you and the video.
