Where is Youtube Settings for Annotations Switch & Video Size Options?

Annotations, Player Size and Video Quality all in a Single Gear Button

 YouTube Annotations & Video Size Settings Missing


Google is working on UI for all of it's product. Latest in the trend is YouTube Video Player. As, per the news and what we see above, Google has changed settings panel in YouTube Player. They have removed the annotations and player size settings. The two are now included along with quality options. Earlier the gear button was used for the quality menu only.


Before that, there was an option to edit quality and setting at same place:

YouTube Gear Button for Annotations, Video Size & Quality

Now, the gear button is a single point access for Annotations, Player Size and Video Quality. Look at the following screen for an embedded YouTube video in a website. In this the Player Size is missing as the video is embedded in the website.

But when you watch the video in YouTube directly you will notice the Player Size option also. Like this:

There are mix reviews coming, mostly negative for the new settings option, you can follow them or post your comment  here:

"How come the video size button with the big box makes the video small, and the video with the small box makes the video fill the page, that just doesn't make sense to me."

"guys i loved the old one i have to make 1 click more for anything i need now, pleeeease go back to how it was before?"

"Quit hiding useful one click features in menus and calling more steps simpler.  Simpler to look at, but more annoying to actually use."

Finally Google Enables Request Indexing Feature in Google Search Console After Disabling It for Two Months

"Page actions are temporarily disabled" Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool Was Down Since From October 2020 and a message "Page actions are temporarily disabled" was displayed on URL Inspection panel of Google Search Console. Now as of today 22 Dec, 2020, the URL Inspection feature is working fine. So, Request Indexing tool is Back in Google Search Console. Is it working fine or Google has just placed a dummy for showing indexing tool is working. I am saying this because I submitted many URLs for indexing but still after 4 - 5 hours none are showing updated content or new URLs in Google results. People will say that Google have the right to index a page or not based upon its liking but earlier it used to index a page withing 5 mins of submitting for index. Have to wait and watch if it is still as effective as it was or not.

If you scroll while watching the video, the ad will not be visible to you. So, to make ads visible the video will pop-out from your news feed and will be running and visible throughout your scrolling. Yesterday, while watching a video about edible water orbs shared
