I Love YTtalk
I've been curious for the past few days and wondering, how do people prefer to watch their YouTube videos? I always watch them in the larger size but never in fullscreen even if it has 720P or 1080P and I'll select 720P and 1080P if it's there but still won't do fullscreen. Am I weird or is this normal? lol
 
it depends the video really...sometimes i just watch videos as background noise so i leave it in small screen mode...but if its something that is meant to be watched in 1080 p or something like a web series or music video or something like that..then i will watch that in fullscreen.

This.

If it's not for background noise purposes (mostly music videos or stand up comedy I background), I use Big Box, 720, if available. Fullscreen barely ever gets clicked, ever. I'm a multitasker by nature, and thats prime real estate I'm eatin' up.
 
Well I watch mine in the smaller box, I often like to do something else at the same time so I'll snap two windows side by side. The small size just fits whereas the other is too big.

Not forgetting the fact I can't watch 720p+ videos without it lagging on me :D
 
Yeah for me...it depends on the video as well. But honestly for the most part, I watch it in the little box. I don't know why.....
 
I use it mostly in the bigger view, it allows me to concentrate more on the video I am watching. The videos and ad being down the side for me is the equivalent of having a poster right next to a TV set, it can be distracting when youre watching. My favourite way to watch is on my TV more than on a computer, I like being able to sit on a nice comfortable chair and tune in.
 
I watch it in the size which is bigger than the 2nd box and smaller then full screen.. got to love having a HUGE screen resolution :)

I also have an extension on Chrome which opens all videos in the bigger player size and at 720p (I will change to 1080p if I go fullscreen or if it's not a gaming video)

I got bored so I made a size chart :p (after the 3rd size I have fullscreen)

I usually watch in the default view, but I rarely watch YouTube videos on the computer now - Im mainly on my iPhone or iPad!

What the hell, what resolution is your monitor? I want a 3rd bigger size! lol

Also I have to say after some thought for me, it's mainly that I used to have issues in the past with fullscreen. I know a lot of people remember the days where you'd wait for the video to download then hit fullscreen to watch it and it would re-download it xD I really need to get back into the fullscreen thing though. I just feel like I'm missing out for some reason. Otherwise like Mr. Flint said, I wouldn't mind that 3rd bigger option lol

It's a 2560x1440 27" monitor :) It's amazing having the 3rd size :) this monitors so big I can actually fit 2 of those players side by side ;D maybe a full 1920x1080 player will come eventually because I could fit that on this screen and still be able to do other things like twitter :P
