As mentioned in recent Tourism Keys workshops, Youtube is now showing higher resolution videos to those with faster internet connections. You may see a message on the video sharing site asking if you would like to view the video in higher resolution, but in most cases, Youtube will figure out if your connection speed can handle the higher resolution and show the higher resolution by default.
What this means to your Tourism Business? Whenever possible, upload the highest quality of video that you can to Youtube. Eventually, you’ll see this content streaming into people’s homes for watching on their high definition tv’s.
Also on the Youtube front, Google has recently announced that when embedding video from Youtube into your Web site, you will be able to edit the flash player so that it matches the format/colour of your Web site. Nice.
