1. Quickly Navigate to Minute N
Want to share a video with friends on YouTube, but the funniest part only happens at the 3rd minute? Instead of spoiling the surprise with a generic message, try this: “Go to minute 3 for an interesting surprise.” To avoid spoilers, adjust the video start time by adding #t=AAmBBs to the end of the link, where AA and BB are the minutes and seconds, respectively. For example, if the spicy scene at 3:12 should start at 2:56, add #t=02m56s to the link.
2. Always Watch in the Best Quality
When on a weak network but want to watch videos in fullscreen, do you find it annoying when the image quality is too poor? To ensure YouTube always selects the highest resolution (HD), follow these steps:
- Log in to YouTube
- Find your username at the top right corner, select Account
- Switch to the Playback tab. Under Video Playback Quality, choose Always choose the best quality for my connection and player size. Then, click Save to apply the changes
3. Disable Related Content
Dislike displaying related videos at the end of each video? When embedding a video on a blog or forum, follow these steps:
- Open any video on YouTube, select Embed below the player
- Uncheck Show suggested videos when the video finishes.
- Copy the code from the Embed section and share away.
