10 YouTube URL Tricks You Should Know About
10 YouTube URL Tricks You Should Know About
YouTube � You know that site with videos and all. Yeah! It turns out that it�s quite popular and you happen to visit and use it quite often. Instead of just searching and playing here are some top YouTube URL tricks that you should know about:
1. View high quality videos
YouTube gives you the option to switch to high quality videos for some of the videos, however you can check if a video is available in high quality format adding these codes in the end of the URL �&fmt=18?(stereo, 480 x 270 resolution) or �&fmt=22?(stereo, 1280 x 720 resolution) for even higher quality.
2. Embed Higher Quality Videos
While the above trick works for playback, if however you want to embed high quality videos you need to append �&ap=%2526fmt%3D18? and �&ap=%2526fmt%3D22? to the embed url.
3. Cut the chase and link to the interesting part
Linking to a video where the real action starts at 1 minutes 13 seconds, wondered if you could make it start at 01:13? You are in luck. All you have to do is add #t=01m13s (#t=XXmYYs for XX mins and YY seconds) to the end of the URL.
4. Watch videos which require signing in to verify age without signing in!
This is simple trick; just add �nsfw� (without the quotation marks) before youtube and after www. in the URL. NSFW stands for Not Safe For Work. Use this trick if your boss isn�t watching ;)
5. Embed only a part of Video
Just append �&start=30? to skip first 30s of the video. In general you can modify the value
after start= to the number of seconds you want to skip the video for.
6. Auto play an embedded video
Normally when you embed a YouTube video and load the page, the player is loaded and it sits there waiting for you to hit the play button. You can make the video play automatically by adding �&autoplay=1? to the url part of the embed code.
7. Watch IPL, movies and 3D videos on YouTube!
- To watch Live IPL Matches, go to www.youtube.com/IPL
- To watch 3D videos, go to www.youtube.com/3D
- To watch Bollywood movies, go to www.youtube.com/boxoffice
- To watch more Bollywood movies, go to www.youtube.com/movies
There are many more channels, browse through!
8. Disable Related Videos
Publishing your content in the form of YouTube video? Don�t want people to see other people�s content that may be related but may as well be in competition to you? Just add �&rel=0? to the end of the url part of the embed code and you just turned off the related video suggestions!
9. Bypass YouTube Regional Filtering
Some videos are only available in certain parts of the world. Your IP Address is used to determine your location and then allow or deny access to the video. Change the url from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= to http://www.youtube.com/v/
10. Download Video
Although not inherently a YouTube trick but useful all the same for downloading videos. Just change YouTube to kickyoutube in the url of the video and it will take you to kickyoutube.com with all the options for downloading the video you were watching.
