YouTube's Compact Controls
A few weeks ago, YouTube tested a feature (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/08/youtube-tests-unified-settings-control.html) that grouped controls like an**tations, video quality and player size. This feature is **w publicly available.
"**tice something a little different about YouTube videos? We've just launched a new version of the player with improved caption controls and a cleaner look. If you're looking for the an**tations switch, just click the gear button - you'll find size and quality controls there too," informs YouTube (https://plus.google.com/+YouTubeCreators/posts/ENKEQSPaokz).

The gear button was previously used for the quality dropdown. This change makes the player less cluttered and makes the video quality dropdown less visible. When YouTube removes it (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/06/youtubes-smarter-video-player.html), fewer people will complain.
**w it's hard to tell if a video has an**tations without clicking the settings button. Each of the settings require an extra click.
