During Quarantine YSTV, in order to mark the videos distinctly from the regular ones, a green border was used on the thumbnail of the videos as opposed to the regular blue.
Quarantine YSTV was not YSTV's first tango with Coronavirus, as in February 2020, when it was announced that the first UK case of Coronavirus had occurred in York, [[Olivia Gibbs]], [[Zoe Dickinson]] and [[Joe Radford]] appeared on Sky News being interviewed about the Universities reaction.

==Branding==
YSTV was temporarily rebranded "Quarantine YSTV" on social media, including new profile pictures and headers across all platforms. In addition to this, to mark the Quarantine videos as distinct from the regular ones, a green border was used on the thumbnail of the videos as opposed to the regular blue border.


==Meetings==
==Meetings==
During Quarantine Meetings were either had via Zoom, Discord or Google Hangouts. Eventually Zoom became the place for more serious meetings and Discord more used socially. The format of meetings changed slightly in order to keep everyone sane and not have people just talk over each other.

Admin meetings were moved to Monday so that people didn't have to sit through 2 hour long meetings on a Tuesday (with Production meetings as well).
