Tip: Tweak Video Playback With Tags

by JohnOfJordan on September 8, 2009

Simply add a code or two to the tags section of your YouTube video to change how it plays.

You can adjust the dimensions of your video by either cropping or stretching…

yt:crop=16:9 (zooms in on the 16:9 area, removes windowboxing)

yt:stretch=16:9 (fixes anamorphic content by scaling to 16:9)

yt:stretch=4:3 (fixes 720×480 content that is the wrong aspect ratio by scaling to 4:3)

Or ensure that your video defaults to high quality (where available).

yt:quality=high (default to a high quality stream, depending on availability)
