YouTube
Are you tired of scrolling through millions of videos on YouTube to find the exact information you need? 

Or maybe you have hearing difficulties and struggle to follow the audio in videos? 

Don't worry, here's a Cool Tip that can help: YouTube's Show Transcript feature.

The Show Transcript feature is a powerful tool that allows you to view the text of a video's audio in real-time.

Here's how to use it:

Enable the Show Transcript feature
  • Click the three dots that appear in the video's lower right-hand corner, then select Open Transcript. 
    • Note: Not all videos have transcripts.
Read the Transcript
  • Once you have enabled the Show Transcript feature, you will see the video's transcript appear on the right side of the screen. 
  • You can read along with the transcript while watching the video, or you can read it separately to get a better understanding of the video's content. 
  • You can also search for specific keywords within the transcript by using the Ctrl + F (Windows) or Command + F (Mac) keyboard shortcut.

Customize the Transcript
  • The Show Transcript feature allows you to customize the appearance of the transcript to suit your needs.

  • This is especially helpful for people with visual impairments or who prefer a certain reading style.

Interact with the Transcript
  • In addition to reading the transcript, you can also interact with it. For example, you can click on a specific line in the transcript to jump to that point in the video. 
  • This is especially useful if you need to revisit a certain part of the video or if you want to skip ahead to a specific topic.

How to Use Two Google Accounts Simultaneously

Many internet users have more than one email account.

Over time, we've collected Gmail, YAHOO, Hotmail and maybe even still have an AOL email.

It's not a problem to be logged in to two different services at the same time using two browser tabs, for example, Google and YAHOO.

But it's a problem when using more than one services at a time, for example, two Google email accounts.  

Logging in to Google more than once in a browser doesn't work since Google uses cookies to keep you logged into the various Google services like search, YouTube and Gmail.

But there is an easy solution.

Open the second account in a new tab using the browser's Incognito mode.  

In the Chrome browser, it's in the menu options in the top right.  Or just use  Ctrl + Shift + N.

New Incognito Window - One Cool Tip

With Microsoft Edge browser, open a new InPrivate window.

Enjoy!

AP Releases Historical Video Footage on YouTube

Associated Press
The Internet is amazing.

And the latest amazing feat is Associated Press' roll-out of historical video footage from the past 100 years that is now available on its YouTube site:  AP Archive .  

As part of this project, AP has also released footage from the British Movietone archive on its own channel.

Everything from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, to the Hindenburg disaster, to the Los Angeles Watts Riots.

The footage (no sound) from the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor is especially unique with many scenes of destruction not generally seen.


For all of the trouble that people create with the Internet, this treasure trove of historical information is certainly a bright spot.  It is truly a remarkable educational resource.  Available for all to view.

Embed a YouTube Video

YouTube Logo
If you have a website or maintain a blog, you may want to include a YouTube video to make it more interesting.

Adding the URL to the video is a simple way to do that.  For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

But YouTube makes it easy to embed the video into your blog or email post, like this:



But how do you do this?  It's rather easy.

When viewing a YouTube video, look for the "Share" link under the video.  Click it to show several other options.

The first option, "Share" will give you a short URL you can use, like https://youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0

The second option "Embed" is the key to adding the video into the blog or website:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9bZkp7q19f0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This is the html code that you'll include in the html code for the blog or website.  Most blogs let you access the HTML side of a post.  Drop the embed html from the YouTube into your html page and then return to the Compose side of your blog post.  Your video will now be displayed.

So to recap:


    1. Click the Share link under the video.
    2. Click the Embed link.
    3. Copy the html code provided in the expanded box.
    4. Paste the html code into your blog or website.

And that's that.  A bit of behind the scenes coding will make your blog or website look great with embedded video.

Enjoy!
