Youtube adds new features- Old vs New embedded video Player

May be you might not notice but YouTube has recently updated its embedded video players and added a few minor features. Below are the new supported features-

Old vs new youtube video players
  • The new YouTube videos are now blatantly supporting keyboard shortcuts:
  • Space bar to pause the video and then resume it
  • Right arrow to fast forward
  • Left arrow to rewind/replay the video
  • and the up/down arrows to adjust volume.
The overlayed YouTube logo from the old video player was also moved to the lower right corner of the player to replace the Menu button with essentially unchanged features (shows related videos and embed code when clicked).

May be these functionalities not affect you but it’ll used for branding purpose as well.
