YouTube is a video sharing website on which users can upload and share videos.YouTube is an online public communications site. The site allows for registered users to upload and have available for the public their videos for viewing. Anyone who goes to the site can view the videos that are posted on this site. The videos are anything from beginner videos to more professional videos. Here I have in this post written some tricks about you-tube which many don’t know. These tricks are really helpful and you-tube users will certainly find it helpful. So, enhance the efficiency of you-tube with the following tips

Embed only a part of Video

Its easy!! only append ‘&start=20' to skip first 20s of the video. In general the value of "start=" can be changed to the number of seconds you want to skip the video for.

Hide the search box

The search box appears when one hovers over an embedded video. To hide the search box add ‘&showsearch=0' to the embed url.

Loop an embedded video

Append ‘&loop=1′ to make the video start again without user intervention after it reaches the end.

Autoplay an embedded video

Normally when a page embedded with you-tube video is loaded , the player is loaded and it waits 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.

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.
