Many are the users who record videos vertically, despite not being the most suitable format to be able to enjoy on a larger screen, without taking into account that the television or the monitor we cannot turn it to be able to see the video full screen. Some are the websites that have popularized this video format, something that has forced YouTube to adapt.
The video platform par excellence YouTube, like Facebook and Instagram already did, has just updated its platform to start display videos vertically at a larger size, eliminating the happy black bands that have always accompanied these types of videos.
In the image above we can see how they are shown now videos in 4: 3 format, a format that until now also showed us two black stripes on both the right and the left to compensate for the 16: 9 format. YouTube has enlarged the size of the displayed video to eliminate the two stripes so that no part of the video is lost.
In videos shot vertically, YouTube uses the same tactic by enlarging the size of the video and removing the two black bars. We can see the result in the image above. Although it is true that the difference is not that it is very noticeable, miracles cannot be worked on a desktop computer.
With this new change, as the size of the videos is expanded, it will be a bit more difficult to comment on the videos while we watch them, depending on the resolution of our equipment. As is often the case with these types of changes, it is likely that take a while to reach all users And as is usually normal in this type of new functions, it is likely that not all videos will be shown correctly adopted to the new format.
