Youtube URL Tricks

Instead of just searching and playing on youtbe, here are some top Youtube URL tricks that you should know about :

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 by appending ‘&fmt=18′(stereo, 480 x 270 resolution) or ‘&fmt=22′(stereo, 1280 x 720 resolution) for even higher quality.

Embed Higher Quality Videos

While the above trick works for playback, if however you want to embed hig quality videos you need to append “&ap=%2526fmt%3D18″ and “&ap=%2526fmt%3D22″ to the embed url.

Cut the chase and link to the interesting part

Linking to a video where the real action starts at 3 minutes 22 seconds, wondered if you could make it start at 03:22? You are in luck. All you have to do is add #t=03m22s (#t=XXmYYs for XX mins and YY seconds) to the end of the URL.

Hide the search box

The search box appears when you hover over an embedded video. To hide the search box add ‘&showsearch=0′ to the embed url.

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.

You Tube : Warp

If you are tired of seeing all linear frames, here’s a cool trick called Webview – or ‘warp Speed’ to get you literally bouncing. Go to YOU-TUBE WARP and click on any of the video links turn into floating balls, hovering over a dark background.


Move the mouse to hover the cursor over a particular circle and other related video burst out for your reference, with the first one in the center. Besides, a tag appears too- this time in a speech balloon- to show you what the video is all about. Click on any one of them for the video player to appear and watch your favorite video in a new mode. Similar videos are colour coded- the circles around them are of the same colour- and every time you click on a different kind of video, a dot of the same colour appears on the top left corner of the screen. Videos you have watched are connected by lines as a quick review of your viewing history.
