New HQ/HD Button On Video Player Controls
|
| |
Hey guys,
You'll notice a new toggle button on videos in HQ and HD (when those
formats are available). Instead of the old link that used to appear
beneath the player saying 'watch in high quality' or 'watch in HD',
this is now a button in the player itself. The button will show in red
when you're viewing the video in HQ/HD and turn grey when the video is... more »

Now You Can Permanently Disable Annotations "In-Video" Editing Controls
   
|
| |
Hey all,
The in-video editor that we launched a couple of weeks ago now has an
option to switch off the editor. This setting previously wasn't
permanent, i.e. each time you viewed one of your videos it would be
switched on again. Now it is a permanent setting.
Thanks for all of your feedback on this guys,... more »
