<h4>General Information and Features</h4>
<p>The Falconiform YouTube Widget allows you to add YouTube videos to your sidebars. This is easily done by adding the widget to a sidebar in the administration interface. After that you simply paste the link (URL) of the desired YouTube video (or the video ID) into the appropriate widget settings field. You can adjust the following settings:</p>
<ul>
<li>widget title</li>
<li>YouTube video ID</li>
<li>player width (automatic width possible)</li>
<li>player height (automatic height possible)</li>
<li>player theme</li>
<li>color of the player’s video progress bar</li>
<li>player controls visibility</li>
<li>hide controls / progress bar at playback</li>
<li>start playback automatically</li>
<li>restart the video automatically after playback ends (loop video)</li>
<li>show related videos after playback ends</li>
<li>show video information like the video title</li>
<li>show video annotations</li>
<li>show fullscreen button</li>
<li>hide YouTube logo in the controls bar</li>
<li>disable keyboard control for the player</li>
</ul>
<h4>Editors Can Specify Videos</h4>
<p>Optionally, the Falconiform YouTube Widget allows users with Editor rights to specify the video that is shown in the sidebar. In WordPress Editors are not allowed to change widget settings. Therefore the Falconiform YouTube Widget adds an extra menu to the administration interface that allows Editors to specify videos that are linked with one or more YouTube widgets (via index number).</p>
<p>If you don’t want Editors to specify videos, you can disable this in the widget settings (disabled by default).</p>
<h4>Technical Details</h4>

<p><a href="http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk/mashe/utitle/" rel="nofollow ugc">uTitle</a> is an experimental tool which uses Twitter to allow users to make free and timeline based comments on YouTube videos. The original concept is <a href="http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.org.uk/mashe/2010/06/convergence-youtube-meets-twitter-in-timeline-commenting-of-youtube-videos-using-twitter-utitle/" rel="nofollow ugc">explained in detail in this blog post</a>, but the basic idea is video are played in custom interface which lets users ‘tweet’ comments. Part of each tweet includes a hashtag linking it to a specific YouTube video and a timestamp from the current point in the video. Tweets are stored in the <a href="http://twapperkeeper.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">TwapperKeepr</a> and temporarily cached on the uTitle site. When a video is replayed in the uTitle interface existing comments appear at the timed points as subtitles and users can also use the timed tweets to jump to part of the video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVp2F6tDWfw" rel="nofollow ugc">(see this video for a demonstration)</a></p>
<p>This plugin allows you to easily embed commented YouTube videos by enabling a uTitle specific short code (e.g. [utitle mode=1 comment=yes]RVp2F6tDWfw[/utitle]). Options are available to choose the type of player (see Screenshots) and as well as a choice to provide a link to invite users to add their own comments.</p>
<p>uTitle essentially works as the glue combining YouTube and Twitter, subsequently there is no direct control over moderating comments (but it does via TwapperKeepers configuration conform to Twitter’s deletion policy).</p>
<p>This plugin and the uTitle site are not affiliated with YouTube or Twitter.</p>
