Did you know that you don’t have to launch a web browser to watch your favorite YouTube videos? You can use Totem to search for and watch any YouTube video that you want. The process is very simple, but not everyone knows about it. Here’s how:
After launching Totem by going to Applications –> Sound & Video –> Movie Player, go to your Plugins menu.
Check the “YouTube browser” plugin and then “Close”.
Now, click on your playlist menu in Totem and choose “YouTube”.
In the search box you can search for any YouTube video you want to see and the search results will be listed in a window. Related videos will also be listed in a tabbed over window.
There is a way to enable the new Hi-Res YouTube video playback, and that will be covered in a future post.
