5 Useful YouTube Tips
1.Try the Feather and HTML 5 mode:
Click on “Try something new!” at the bottom of the YouTube page. There you can find and try out many of the new features in YouTube.
Both the HTML5 and the Feather version are still in development, so some of the videos may not play with them. HTML5 is supported by Google Chrome, Firefox 4, Higher Internet Explorer versions with installed Google Chrome Frame, Safari 4 + and Opera 10.6 +. You can use HTML5 for most of the videos if you don’t have a Flash player. Feather is obviously the lighter version of YouTube, designed to load the videos much faster, especially if you have a slow internet connection. It has a simpler look, doesn’t load all recommended videos and limits some features.
2. Comments search:
You can now search for a specific word or term in the comments on YouTube.
3. Link to a particular moment of the video:
To link to a precise point in the video you want to share right-click at the point you want to highlight and then click on “Copy video URL at current time.”
4. Manage your history, likes and playlists:
Sign in and click on your account/username icon. A menu will show up and from there you can view your entire viewing history, likes, favorites and videos you’ve uploaded. From there you can remove videos you’ve watched or make them public; you can add them to your playlists or to the “Watch later” list.
5. Search tips:
Not only the plus and minus signs work in YouTube search. You can also use ”intitle:keyword” to search only for videos with the word in their titles. Besides, simply writing “HD” or “3D” in your title will bring out high-quality or 3D content. You can specify the timing and freshness of the videos by writing “today”, “this week” etc. “Long” and “short” will return results for videos under 4 minutes or much longer videos. You can as well search for “channel” or “playlist”. In order the search to work you have to separate the terms with commas like this: “panda, playlist, today”.
