DID YOU KNOW?
  • There are two main ads you can find while watching a Youtube video, the main ad is located on the right side of the video while the other one is the advertisement that pops out while you are watching the video. Sometimes, there is already an ads playing before you can load the video itself.
  • If you really have a terrible internet connection, you can adjust the Youtube video Settings (Gear icon located below the video). Lowering it to 144 will make the video to buffer and play more faster but in a lower quality video.
