Want to enhance the viewer experiences and discussions around the YouTube videos you embed?
You can now upgrade your YouTube embeds with real-time reactions and DVD-like controls without having to alter the original content, using EmbedPlus.
EmbedPlus offers a number of features:
- Real-time reactions
- Scene skipping
- Movable zoom
- Third party annotations
- Slow motion on-demand
- Instant replay
Here's an example I created of an enhanced YouTube below - although please note, that I haven't activated all the features mentioned above.
This is likely to have many applications. How might you make use of it?
I particularly like the annotation feature: You can essentially insert footnotes at defined time points in the video or add discussion questions (then it's useful to implement the scene skipping tool so learners have an option to find critical scenes more easily.)

It doesn't appear to work with Google Chrome.
