2 Cool Ways to Explore Youtube


[image]youtube-logoYouTube is a website that you must be visiting at least once everyday. And why not, it’s got millions of videos which are informative, fun and just simply great! In fact recent studies show that, people spend at least 15 minutes of their online time at YouTube. And here’s two ways to explore it with even more fun.

Well here are the two interfaces. For the better experience, press F11 key on your keyboard right now, before going to the YouTube site. By doing, so you’re making your browser go full-screen.

  1. Leanback
    It’s a great interface, that begins playing videos automatically in full screen. Videos play in non-ending fashion (when one video ends, the next one starts). You can use your keyboard to navigate through and search and explore other videos. Keyboard keys used are: up, down , right, left arrow keys and Enter key. [image]youtube-leanback
  2. XL
    A similar interface to the leanback, it gives more control to the user. At the same time it does lose some of the glossiness and style you would get in the former mode.

These interfaces are more what you may call as prototypes intended for use, when Google TV will be eventually launched. You will need to login to your Google/YouTube account to use the above features.

Bonus Tip: For people with slower connections, you might try using YouTube Feather beta. It provides a faster interface than the normal YouTube site.
