On a connected TV screen, YouTube appears in a different interface than the computer version. More ergonomic, and easier to use.
It can be accessed from its PC or Mac, simply go to https://www.youtube.com/tv# from your browser.
To encapsulate a video in a web page, simply retrieve the code accessible from the Share> Embed function. You should then retrieve a code like <iframe width = “560” height = “315” = src = “https: //www.youtube.com/embed …> </ iframe>.
But you can go even further, offering a video without any suggestion on the page displayed. To do this, simply add the code? Rel = 0 to the end of the address of your video.
When you type a query into the YouTube search engine, it is made on all possible information(title, tags and other keywords, description).
The command “allintitle:” lets you look for only expressions in video titles. Similarly, putting a word between quotation marks makes it possible to retain a term in its exact spelling, while the operator “-” makes it possible to exclude certain terms.
However, sharing videos on YouTube imposes a constraint: each video shared in this way will start at the beginning, even if the video is very long.

A simple right click on the image of the video makes it possible to decide the second precise to which a shared video will start.
YouTube has recently introduced a very handy editing tool that allows you to add simple effects and transitions to your videos.

You can add notes and subtitles to your YouTube videos. They allow you to add a comment, a clickable link, or just subtitle a passage in another language. These options are available when editing a video.

The YouTube video player allows you to use many shortcuts on the keyboard. So if it is known that the spacebar is used to pause the video, this is far from the only trick to know. For example, the keys 1 to 9 of the keyboard allow you to navigate from 10% to 90% of the video, while the J and L keys move forward or backward in the video, while the K key pause. Finally, the F key switches to full screen mode, and the escape key is used to exit this mode.
