YouTube 2022: Amazing Features to Use for a Better Streaming Experience

YouTube 2022: Amazing Features to Use for a Better Streaming Experience

Since 2005, YouTube has been a source of entertainment for a lot of people, and it is one of the most visited websites in the world.

A lot of features have been added to the platform since then, but there are some that you may not know about.

Viewing the Transcript of a Video

Closed captions show in real-time as a video is playing, and that is the main purpose of closed captions, but you can also read the full transcript.

This is very handy if you want to read the captions at your own pace, copy the text, or even search for words that are spoken in a video. You can check transcripts on the YouTube desktop site and the Android and iPhone apps.

Check All of the Comments

If you are an active commenter on YouTube, your comments are spread out across several different videos.

However, there is not really a great way to see all of your comments on one platform, unless you know where they go.

Your YouTube comment history is saved to the Google My Activity portal, and go to the YouTube comment section so you can see them all in a chronological list, according to HowtoGeek.

Save Videos So You Can Watch It Later

You may have been browsing YouTube and come across a video that you find interesting. If you do not have the time to watch it, you can use the Watch Later feature.

Watch Later is just a playlist that you can add videos to for watching later. It is great for saving videos that you do not want to forget about, and it works everywhere you can access the platform’s website or app.

Make the Videos Always Fill Your Screen

It is pretty common for your phone’s display to have a different aspect ratio than the videos themselves. You can pinch them to zoom and fill the full screen when watching a video, but you need to do that every single time.

You can make it so the videos will always fill the screen, according to Small Biz Trends. You won’t have to pinch-to-zoom every time, but you will be able to zoom out if too much of the video is being cut off on the screen.

Double Tap the Video to Skip Forward and Back

If you want to save a lot of time watching videos on the YouTube mobile app, you can skip them forward just by tapping the video. If you’ve missed some scenes, you can double tap to bring it back a few seconds.

Change the Video’s Double-Tap Skip Time

Aside from double-tapping to skip forward or back in a video, you can also adjust the length of these skips. By default, it is 10 seconds, but you can change the length from five seconds to 60 seconds. It is a great thing to do if you do not want to tap the videos too much.

Double-Tap to Skip Chapters

You can skip forward or back using one finger, but you can tap the video with two fingers for easier control.

Some longer videos on the platform are broken down into chapters and by using two fingers to tap the left or right side of the screen, you can skip between chapters, according to TechCrunch.

S1 Zeus: “I played very poorly. I’m incredibly mad at myself… I got greedy for POG votes, which led to misplays.”

S1 Zeus: "I played very poorly. I'm incredibly mad at myself... I got greedy for POG votes, which led to misplays."

On day 40 of the 2022 LCK Summer split, T1 defeated Nongshim RedForce 2-1 and secured a spot in round 2 of the playoffs. Despite NS showing fight in game 2, there was no upset in the series.

After the match, Choi “Zeus” Woo-je joined Inven to talk about his disappointment in his performance that day.

Zeus was brutally honest on his self-feedback:

“I played very poorly. I’m incredibly mad at myself. The Camille pick in game 1 was not only bad, but also played poorly on her. By taking Press the Attack on Renekton in game 2, I tried to pressure the enemy in lane very hard, but I couldn’t do that at all. I even died helplessly to a gank. In game 3, everything aligned for me to carry, but I couldn’t do that as well.

I actually practiced a lot of Renekton recently. I should’ve played better when he hit his power spike, but I didn’t. I couldn’t play as well as I could have. My opponents also played well, but there were things that were definitely disappointing on our end.”

On Renekton’s item build, Zeus commented,

“There’s a player on the Challenger solo queue ladder that takes Press the Attack and builds Blade of the Ruined King [BorK] into Prowler’s Claw. If that Renekton gets fed, then his damage output is insane. He can just delete the enemy bot laner, so I took reference from how he plays. I thought I could build the same way in game 2, but looking back, it may not have been so good. To be honest, the item build wasn’t the issue; the plays were. Ever since last year, I always seem to perform poorly on Renekton, so it’s a bit of a sore thumb in my career.”

However, there were some good things to take from the series for Zeus, as he added Renekton and Zac in the champions played during the Summer split. He tied with Kim “Canna” Chang-dong with 13 champions in first place.

“The fact that I had a chance to play the champions that I couldn’t on stage is a good experience in itself. There are so many champions that can be played in the top lane. The more champions I play, the more options I’ll have in the future, so I’m proactively trying to play different options in the top lane.

Zac is a very good champion when there are these prolonged, ‘wet noodle’ fights. Not only did my opponent first pick Ornn, Zac also seemed like the best option in that scenario. I practiced him quite a bit in solo queue recently, and he was really good. So I decided to try him tonight.”

On his performance on Zac in game 3, he also added,

“When there was that lane swap, I died trying to interrupt Kalista’s recall. That was when Ornn got ahead because he farmed a lot of waves. I thought that the damage was irreparable, so I decided to rotate bot lane to get our bot duo ahead. However, because of that, I fell behind in levels; I had to level E to get good engage angles, but due to such, I couldn’t find good jump angles. So I just jumped in whenever I saw potential angles.”

T1 has two matches remaining in the regular split, against Liiv SANDBOX and DWG KIA. On the matchups, I have commented,

“I think it’s more important for us to regain our form, rather than to focus on the opponents’ game plan. I recently received a lot of POG votes, so I got greedy, which led to my misplays. I’m reflecting on it, and I’ll make sure to put my team’s victory over my personal performance.”

Video catches teens crash stolen Kia, take off running on highway

Video catches teens crash stolen Kia, take off running on highway

Video from traffic cameras on a Minnesota highway shows a group of teenagers crash a stolen Kia and take off running.

It happened Saturday on Interstate 35E northbound, according to Fox 9. Footage shows a stolen Kia smash into a median after the driver attempted to avoid police stop sticks. Four teens then jump out of the smoking car, run and dodge traffic to get to the other side of the road where state troopers were waiting. All four were arrested: a 14-year-old boy and three girls ages 15-17.

Two of the girls had minor injuries and were taken to the hospital, authorities said.

The incident began around 5:30 pm when a rental car company contacted St. Paul Police saying they had a GPS tracker on a 2021 Kia Forte that had been stolen in Minneapolis and was headed to St. Paul, a police spokesman said.

“St. Paul Police requested assistance from a State Patrol helicopter, and the pilot used the coordinates from the GPS tracker to locate the car as it came to a stop on Portland and Dale streets in St. Paul,” Fox 9 reports.

The teens got back in the car as police squad cars approached. Officers stood back as the car traveled through a residential neighborhood, but the helicopter continued to track the Kia as the driver drove erratically down city streets and onto the highway, the police spokesman said.

The crash occurred roughly 15 minutes after the incident first began.

Law enforcement in the area have expressed concern about a nationwide trend this summer involving Hyundai and Kia thefts. A viral Tiktok video from the so-called “Kia Boys” shows thieves how to use a USB cable to steal rides.

Video captured the teens running away from the stolen car.

The automaker is so familiar with the rash of thefts it has issued the following statement to media outlets, including Fox 29 Philadelphia.

“Kia America is aware of the rise in vehicle thefts of a subset of trim levels,” the statement read. “All 2022 models and trims have an immobilizer applied either at the beginning of the year or as a running change. All Kia vehicles for sale in the US meet or exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Kia customers with questions regarding their Kia vehicle should contact the Consumer Assistance center directly at 1-800-333-4542.

“Hyundai Motor America is concerned with the rise in local auto thefts. The safety and well-being of our customers and the community is and will remain our top priority. These vehicles meet or exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and engine immobilizers are standard equipment on all new Hyundai vehicles. Hyundai customers who have questions can always contact the Hyundai Consumer Assistance Center at 800-633-5151.”

GEN Chovy: “It’s absolutely frustrating to lose…For me, it just fueled my drive to win.”

GEN Chovy: "It's absolutely frustrating to lose...For me, it just fueled my drive to win."

On day 34 of the 2022 LCK Summer split, Gen.G defeated T1 2-0 in the second match of the day. Not only was Gen.G’s match victory over T1 their first time this season, they even managed to do it with a pentakill scored by their bot laner, Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk.

Prior to this match, Gen.G’s mid laner, Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon, pledged that he’d sing at a karaoke room that’s in T1’s headquarters. After his victory tonight, he joined the LCK press room to talk about his victory, his pledge, and more

How do you feel to finally beat T1, and to do so in a clean 2-0 fashion?

The win/loss record against T1 was abysmal; I’m glad that we won tonight at a very important time.

Tonight’s victory was the first time you beat T1 this season.

As the current rendition of Gen.G, we lost to T1 quite a bit. Because they beat us quite often, I did get intimidated in the past, but I had this feeling that we were going to win tonight. We came back from when we were behind to win game 1, and Ruler even got a pentakill in game 2, so it feels more meaningful.

Why did you feel you were going to win tonight?

I thought we didn’t have a particular reason on why we’d lose. Our recent performance has been stellar so far, so I played with the mindset that we were going to win tonight.

How was Gen.G able to come back from such a deficit in game 1?

Doran’s Akali did die quite a bit, but he died after gaining quite a bit of an advantage from minion waves, so the damage was minimal, and the gap didn’t increase.

T1 played a very fast tempo game tonight. How did the team respond?

A key characteristic of playing Twisted Fate + Nocturne is to focus on one side of the map. When that happens, champions allocated in other lanes can gain a lot of advantages, and if you can maintain that state for a long time, you can gain a lot of advantages in levels and in gold. Doran did end up dying, but since TF + Nocturne slowly falls off towards the late game, we felt that the game was winnable.

What was the turning point for game 1?

Things went very smoothly for us when we were securing our fourth dragon. That’s when we felt the game was winnable.

What did you think about Doran’s dance after the victory?

It was hilarious. I didn’t think he’d actually do it.

T1’s bot laner, Gumayusi, said that he’d also dance if T1 wins. What were your thoughts when you heard about it?

I didn’t think too much about it. As for my own pledge, I have no plans to carry it out right away. I’ll do it when the right opportunity presents itself.

“dancing machine”

You personally have a negative win rate against Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok. Did it affect your gameplay at all?

League of Legends is a 5 vs 5 team game. The reason behind my bad win rate against Faker is because I lost a lot to the team he’s part of. Because Faker’s such a great player, I might get overshadowed by his talent. That’s why I have to play even more meticulously, even if it meant I didn’t individually stand out. I focused on how my team would win.

It’s hard to shake off the feeling of defeat, because it’s absolutely frustrating to lose. However, I think how you use those emotions in your next match is more important. For me, I think that the feeling of defeat just fueled my drive to win.

Gen.G’s most likely to finish 1st place in the regular split. How do you feel about your remaining matches?

A lot of people did say that we’ll finish first place if we beat T1. That’s when you’re most susceptible to complacency. I’ll make sure to stay focused until the end to win.
