Youtube adds new features for Embedded Videos !

Hello Humanoids . Developers at Youtube are working hard to please their users and the result is positive . According to Youtube : 44  % of their videos are viewed as embedded videos on websites , blog , etc , in other words embedded videos form a huge part in increasing viewership for Youtube . I think they realised the importance and now they have launched few but very important updates or you can call them major updates .

From the Youtube Blog ,the newly added features  are   :

  • High-quality start images (thumbnails) – Before you press play on embedded YouTube videos, the thumbnails for the video will be presented in high-quality. We're pleased with the results – let us know if you agree.

  • Search in embeddable player – At the close of an embedded video, along with the usual recommended videos and URLs, a search box will appear. Not only will you be able search from within the embedded player, you will be able to watch videos through the same window. That's right, you can search all of YouTube from the comfort of your favorite blog, news, or humor page.

  • Integrated video annotations – Annotations enable video producers to incorporate text information into their videos, create choose your own adventure-style stories or add links to any YouTube video. People watching videos through the embedded player can now join the fun.
  • Integrated closed captions – Back in August we started allowing video creators to add captions to their videos. Closed Captions are now available in embedded videos like this one:


I am very excited ,  since i post a video in every two week in the form of an embedded video and now i can make sure my viewers can get all the benefits and all the features of video presentation they get on Youtube's website .

Great update , what do you think ?

Stay tuned for more !
