New HTML5 player and New Video Page on YouTube

Try an experimental version of the HTML5 player and Get a sneak peek of this major redesign on Youtube.

YouTube HTML5 Video Player

This is an opt-in experiment for HTML5 support on YouTube. If you are using a supported browser, you can choose to use the HTML5 player instead of the Flash player for most videos. Your comments will help us improve and perfect the mixtures we’re working on. So jump in, play around, and send your feedback directly to the brains behind the scenes.

Supported Browsers

Right now we support browsers that support both the video tag in HTML5 and the h.264 video codec. These include:

• Google Chrome
• Apple Safari (version 4+)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer with Google Chrome Frame installed (Get Google Chrome Frame)

Additional Restrictions (we are working on these!)

• Videos with ads are not supported (they will play in the Flash player)
• Fullscreen is not supported
• If you’ve opted in to other testtube experiments, you may not get the HTML5 player (Feather is supported, though)
