YouTube in a little window

By webbythoughts | Dec 20, 2006

I was planning on complaining that YouTube needs a little detachable player window that you can easily resize down to only show the video itself.

Before doing so, I decided that I should dig again and see if it existed already. It does.

That little button that I highlighted in red will open a new window that is pretty much just a video player.

So, I am pretty much happy now.

I just wish I understood the picture on the button. I don’t see how that would clue me in that it was going to open a new window that was only a video player. Ever a little message that showed up when I moused over the button would have been helpful.

Also, when I click on that little button, why does it open into a giant window taking up the entire screen. I always resize it down to something about 3 inches big since all of the videos on YouTube look like crap when the are any bigger than that.

Also, it appears that the little button just left of the one I circled will change the size of the video you are watching back to the original size, which always seems to be a little smaller than the default size that YouTube shows. It almost always makes the videos look clearer to play them in that smaller, original size.
