> Over the years we've heard a lot of feedback from you about what you'd
> like to change about YouTube, and the size of our video player is
> always top of mind.  That's why today we're excited to announce a
> bigger YouTube player.

> We're expanding the width of the page to 960 pixels to better reflect
> the quality of the videos you create and the screens that you use to
> watch them. This new, wider player is in a widescreen aspect ratio
> which we hope will provide you with a cleaner, more powerful viewing
> experience. And don't worry, your 4:3 aspect ratio videos will play
> just fine in this new player.

> As always, we welcome your feedback and encourage you to share your
> thoughts with us on this exciting, new change happening for all videos
> on YouTube.

> Have fun watching!
