Millions of people watch online videos every day, and the web video industry hasn't been snoozing. Things are getting better. Video quality and high bandwidth have virtually eliminated those junky, jerky video clips. Online video technology is exploding with newer, better, faster, and clearer videos. Here are even more ways your online video viewing experiences will continue to improve.
• You can skip video ads. Today, it's entirely possible to have the ability to click past all those annoying video ads. It is possible. New services allow the viewer to bypass the ads, thus saving time and allowing for uninterrupted video experience.
• You can watch more videos in HD. You didn't buy that 27-inch monitor for nothing. Put it to good use. Low-resolution videos are a dinosaur of technology's prehistory. You can buy pocket video cameras that have HD capability and new smartphones have it as well.
• You can load now, and watch later. Even though watching videos online is popular, it can still be frustrating since it does take time for them to load which makes waiting to watch that new trailer a trying experience. That agonizing wait to watch the latest trailer is simply not easy on your patience. Plus, if you're on a YouTube spree, you might have seven tabs open, waiting for videos to load in all of them. Thankfully, many video services now allow users to load a video, or more than one as the case may be, and then watch it later. You may not be able to speed up the download time, but at least you have the assurance that your video will be ready to view when you are.
• You can watch videos offline. On a similar channel, you will also be able to watch more videos offline. If you're somehow out of the reach of WiFi or 3G, you can still watch that cliffhanging video. This is a great option if you're planning on getting away from it all, but are still craving the comfort of a few good online videos. All it takes is a little planning ahead.
• You can set up better video queues. Online videos are great, but many of them are short. Every three to four minutes, you have to go hunting for a new video to watch. Imagine being able to arrange entire lists of videos to playback. Instead of the desperate hunt for a fresh pick, you can carefully arrange your playlist, much as you would create a song list.
Watching online videos is a relatively recent phenomenon in human history, and it's not going away. Thankfully, there are still more improvements to come, and more -- much more -- to look forward to.
