You might not notice but YouTube has actually updated its embedded video players and added a few minor tweaks. I’m not sure if this feature was active in the old YouTube video player but the new one is now blatantly supporting keyboard shortcuts, including: 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). Not exactly the live video streaming option everyone was debating about recently, but still a cool update to the world’s coolest online video site.
