Ok, this is something I haven’t seen before on YouTube. I was watching a video just now and noticed a new (to me) icon to the upper right, next to the full screen and wide screen icons. A little light bulb sat there, begging for me to click on it.

When I did, the page disappeared, the window greyed and the video kept playing, lightbox style. So I could toggle between a regular YouTube page with all the distracting stuff, or have that all fade away with the emphasis on the video.

I like it. A lot.

If this isn’t new, poke fun at me all you want in the comments below. If it is… First!!
