Welcome to the All-New Yahoo! Video
Hey Yahoo! Video viewers and creators (and those that do both),
Notice anything different about Yahoo! Video? As you can tell we’ve really changed things around here and I’m really excited about it. I love online video, and our new site makes everything about viewing, uploading, organizing, and presenting online video better. Yahoo! Video is now your one-stop shop for all video on Yahoo!, including music, movies, TV, news, sports and a whole lot more.
- A wider viewing experience: Yahoo! Video supports a 16:9 cinematastic player that’s far ahead of what most sites are offering. And the video looks great.
- More content: Yahoo! Video is now about the whole spectrum of video found throughout Yahoo!, including music, movies, TV, news, sports, and a whole lot more. And we’re still committed to featuring the best videos from our talented community of independent video creators.
- Bigger files: Speaking of our creators, we’ve raise the max file size to 150 megabytes, so you can upload longer, higher quality video.
- An expanded browsing experience: Discover more video through networks, playlists, and related videos.
- More sharing: Not only can you embed individual videos on your blog or site, you can create your own curated video experience with embeddable playlists. This is seriously cool. Take a look at this example.
- More in-depth profiles: Your profile page now says a lot more about you. Pick your own nickname, fill the page with your favorite playlists and videos, add contacts and fans, and read and write comments.
And let’s be honest, there are a few things from the old Yahoo! Video you won’t miss:
- Comment titles: You no longer have to title your comments and you can reply to other people’s comments. You can also delete comments you’ve made, as well as unwanted comments on videos you’ve uploaded.
- Blank video players: Our embeddable player now carries the keyframe of your video, and it has a full-featured related-videos carousel. With our 16:9 aspect-ratio, I think it’s probably the best embeddable player out there.
Stay tuned for more cool features. In the meantime, start exploring. You might start by checking out our featured videos, exploring our networks, or by updating your profile.
Have fun out there!
-Kent, Yahoo! Video Team
Yahoo! Cool thing of the Day » Blog Archive » Refreshing Video:
[…] We’ve talked about a bunch of Yahoo! Video updates in the past, but it’s never really been our style to avoid repeating ourselves anyway. So, guess what? Yahoo! Video has been updated again! This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint, though (as nice as that fresh paint looks). The video player supports fancy new 16:9 aspect ratios and the picture quality is superb. You can also group videos together and embed the playlists around the internet, which is a really neat feature that I haven’t seen anywhere else (though I haven’t really been looking, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). On top of that, there’s a ton of content that’s now being surfaced really well through all of the Networks — check out all of this cool Sports stuff! In general, it seems like a really solid and exciting update. Read more about it here. […]
