A Tutorial on Watching YouTube Videos From an iPhone

in #from4 years ago

Are you a big fan of YouTube? If you're like me, you spend the day endlessly searching for the newest and funniest video clips uploaded. Well, thanks to Apple's iPhone, we video junkies now have our golden fleece. The iPhone allows us to enjoy videos wherever we are.

One of the best features Apple uses to sell the iPhone is its online video viewing capabilities through YouTube. This allows owners to watch any videos they want from a library of millions of people with a constant stream of new videos uploaded every day. What's great about iPhone is that users can explore all of those new videos and old favorites without learning a whole new search process on the iPhone's easy-to-use platform.

Here is a quick and easy tutorial on how to watch these videos:

  • To get started, tap or tap the “YouTube” icon on your iPhone's main screen. The icon should look like a small TV on your screen. Touching this takes you to the main YouTube page.
  • Once you're on the main YouTube page, look for the “Search” button to get started. A common mistake most novice iPhone users make is entering keywords; they forget to lightly touch the space reserved for keywords. There must be some contact with the keyword field or you are doing a lot of typing for nothing.
  • Use specific or general keywords to find new videos on the YouTube site. The virtual keyboard makes typing words quite simply which can help you locate any specific video you want.
  • Now that you are on the "Search Results" page, highlight the icon labeled "Video" from a YouTube result that may work for your search query. To access the video, use your index finger to tap the icon. All accompanying video information will be displayed.
  • Start the fast playback options by tapping the "Play" icon of the selected video. It will be centered on the bottom of the screen. You can also skip other viewing options to go directly to the video.
  • By touching the space outside the main video screen, you can access the YouTube and iPhone video tools. Tools, such as "Rewind" and "Fast Forward", allow you to watch the video at your own pace. There is also a slide bar that lets you choose any point in the video to start or return to.
  • The iPhone also allows you to create your own icons and video toolbar with the "Edit" tool. This functionality can be found by clicking on the "Plus" icon at the top of the phone.
