THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VIEWING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE |
| Youtube has developed a flash format that permits connections of different speeds to view videos in several qualities or resolutions: 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, and 1080p. |
| Sometimes you might experience an unexpected pause. This might be caused by viewing the video at a higher quality than your connection speed can give you. |
| If this is the problem, look on the video taskbar on the right side (shown in the picture below) and change the viewing quality to a lower resolution. Some connections are capable of 1080, but you will see little difference if you select 360p. |

MAKE SURE YOU SELECT A SPEED YOUR COMPUTER CAN HANDLE |
| Just because you use a fast computer does not mean you can view video in a quality resolution, you must also have a fast connection. Using a Pentium 4 processor will allow you to view at 480p. You need a Pentium D or dual processor and a very fast connection to have a smooth HD 720p or higher presentation. If you have a fast connection and fast processor but still experience pausing, then you might have to re-install your video drivers or have your computer serviced. You are welcome to contact me for advise. |
