I often watch video clips, trailers, songs and other videos on video sharing websites like YouTube or Vimeo. Nowadays, people can also watch streaming videos on their flat TV screen and this adds to the number of web video watchers. As a lover of web videos, I have a complain which is a complaint of many others too. The complaint is that the video sharing websites fill pretty significant space on the screen with ads, related videos and comments. This makes the actual video screen much small in proportion to the entire screen. Some users (like me) find these stuffs really annoying. If you have the same feeling, then the info about a web based service QuietTube , will sound music to your ears.

QuietTube is a web based service which allows watching web videos from YouTube and other such websites on a blank background without any other distractions. QuietTube is very easy to work with. All you need to do is visit the QuietTube website and drag the bookmarklet to your web browser’s toolbar. You will then notice a new bookmarklet in your toolbar. Now just visit a video sharing website (say YouTube) and click on the QuietTube button in the toolbar while playing the video. You will then notice that the video will start playing on an empty white background in a large screen. Technically, the QuietTube service imports the embed code and then embeds it on a blank page for its users.

QuietTube allows users to change the default white background with a black one, according to your preference. QuietTube, as of now, supports YouTube, Vimeo and Viddler videos. For those who prefer blank background for easy viewing of videos, they should definitely try QuietTube.

Indonesia, Turkey and Thailand are some of the countries that have banned YouTube before. There are some videos that have been blocked by YouTube to avoid disputes arising out of some inappropriate content of the video that might affect the country audience. Global distribution rights are another cause of some YouTube videos getting blocked for people of some countries. If you try to access such videos, you will find the following notice – “This video is not available in your country” or something alike.

However, there is a little trick to get access to the videos you would like to watch but is restricted in your country. The trick is very simple and doesn’t require any software or tools as such.

Suppose a video is located at - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEchravings (this link is just for example and it doesn’t point to any video). Suppose, you would love to watch the video but it is restricted in your country for one or the other reason.

Now what you need to do is remove “watch?” and replace the “=” symbol with “/”. Now the original video URL will be replaced as - 

http://www.youtube.com/v/TEchravings

This trick also works if you happened to get the following notice for some video -

This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube’s user community.

By clicking “Confirm”, you are agreeing that all videos or groups flagged by the YouTube community will be viewable by this account.
