Apple Releases Tenth Beta of macOS Big Sur to Developers

Don't know how they'll do the versioning going forward. In my opinion, at the very least, the "ten-point..." ran its course when the system was rebranded from OS X to macOS. The Roman numeral played on both the unix heritage and the sea change from the legacy Mac OS (aka "Classic".) Now that the "new" OS is actually older than the old one lived to be, it's about time.
I thought that a good time to make the numbering change would have been Catalina. With its introduction, under the hood, of such things as Volume Groups and a read-only system, it was a much larger change than some people realize.
Like some others, I'm sure, at the time my name for a theoretical v11 was "Spinal Tap".

This all looks new. I don't recall "On Hold", or "Will be charged by", or a "Charge to Full Now" option. Previously it would just hold at 80% and say Not Charging.
It is quite possible we will see Apple increment macOS past 11 to version 12, then 13, 14 etc for major yearly releases going forward. This is how they do it with every other OS, and I think with Big Sur they will start doing it for macOS.
Also in the most recent public beta of macOS Big Sur - beta 9. Not entirely new. But, newer'erere
edit... my commenting business isn't at as good as it used to be- dang it. Mentioned just a few posts back.
Also, I predict 11 betas of Big Sur to align with the macOS 11 versioning. Easy for me to say now that we're nearing a GM of Big Sur with 10 betas already.
I have a feeling that macOS11 will be an explosion of bugs and issues.
I'm still on the 9th beta and I have this. Not new to Beta 10.
YouTube is just fine for me. You using integrated graphics? I am using an eGPU, a Radeon RX 570.
My testing MBP is a bit old. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
I work connected so I use the discrete AMD Radeon R9 M370X
2015 13" MBP here with only integrated graphics. YouTube borked.
Edit: Fixed!
I'll know myself in under an hour, but have they fixed the issue where if you're on mute then load and play a video (Apple TV or youtube in a browser etc.) it plays sound anyway?

Try it in private mode. While I haven't had any issues on my Mac, at one point I couldn't use YouTube in Safari on iOS unless I put it in private mode.
What I like so far: I can again see the menubar selection that Ive clicked on.
I was unable to in many betas see that. Wish it was still a bit more lighter, tho, as black still makes it hard to see.

Youtube is working fine for me in both Firefox and Safari. Maybe try some other videos if you haven't already. You could try downloading Safari Technology Preview to see if that helps. 2020 MBA.
It's doing alright on my mid-2014 MBP. It might be an issue with different graphics cards, as some have suggested. Certainly those with issues should be using the Feedback Assistant to report--this will also inform Apple of the hardware.2015 13" MacBook Pro Youtube doesn't work in Safari
Which, after all, is the point of beta testing.
