Buttons of note on the right side of the player:
Fullscreen - most of our videos look good in fullscreen mode.

If it's the YouTube video player you will have these additional buttons:
HD - turns on and off high quality.
YouTube Control - on/off Annotations, on/off Captions, Suggested related videos.

If the video is starting and stopping while it waits for the feed, you can preload the video by:
1) Push play.
2) Wait a few secs and then push pause.
3) Wait a few seconds while the feed continues to download.
     (you don't have to let it completely down load, just let it get a little ahead (basically a buffer zone))
4) Push play, you should be able to watch the video without any further disrupting in feed.

If it's a YouTube video in the YouTube player and you continue to have problems (or it's taking to long) you can shut off the HQ (high Quality) button.

Also in the YouTube player you might suddenly see these really annoying "Annotations" on the screen. You can turn them off by using the button on the player to the far right of the play bar. In that same menu there may also be related videos (youtube provides those suggestions not us).  YouTube player also might display an advertisment that you can close.

Video Posts written by Staff members use our custom player, which doesn't display "Annotations" or "Ads".

Video Posts written by Non-Staff members will be played using a 3rd party's video player, such as YouTube or MSN, and may contain annoying things like "Ads" or "Annotations".
