How frustrating is it when your are watching a funny YouTube video, or listening to a song on YouTube, and it all of a sudden stops? You are met with that dreaded spinning wheel, that makes you want to head butt your monitor. I know I hate it, and it seems to be steadily getting worse. YouTube has a solution for us though, and they plan on implementing this solution hopefully by July 4th.

In the video below, Team Leader of YouTube’s Engineering, John Harding, points out just what it takes for us constant Youtube watchers to playback the videos we choose to view. There are many steps to the process and really we are only concerned with two factors; clicking the thumbnail, and watching the video. So they plan on changing the process which I will allow Mr. Harding to tell you in the video below. Glad to see they are helping improve our YouTube lives.

Oh I get it.. So youtube itself is now gonna be slower but with no buffering on videos.. The video will be downloaded right away when clicking on the youtube link, so it will take more time to load the page but the video will not buffer.. Smart I guess
