That's the Android widget, not material design which is used for YouTube's UI

I fear we're talking past each other. Material Design doesn't have a Toast.

Material Design Snackbars aren't toasts:

* Toasts don't receive focus, snackbars can (via the optional action)

* Toasts auto-dismiss. This is optional for snackbars

* Snackbars can explicitly be dismissed early by a user
