6. Use the iPad’s Built-In Apps > Watch YouTube Clips
YouTube, which debuted in 2005, has become the spot to share and see video from around the world. While YouTube videos on the Web usually come in the Flash format, a technology foreign to the iPad, Apple convinced the site to re-encode its millions of videos into H.264 format, a much higher-quality rendering than Flash—and one you can play via the iPad’s YouTube app. Here’s how.
The iPad is full of entertainment options, and its YouTube app is no exception. Tap the YouTube icon on the Home screen to see:
-
Featured. This list highlights videos that folks on the YouTube team think are interesting or worth your while to watch. Tap a thumbnail to see ‘em.
-
Top Rated. When someone watches a video on YouTube, they can give it a thumbs-up (“Like”) or a thumbs-down (“Dislike”) rating to reflect their opinion of the clip (this binary system replaced the old one- to five-star ratings). Tap here to see videos with the most upward thumbs.
