Youtube Notch Mode

@thomas_einwaller I did... what am I missing? This is exactly what would happen, no?

@thomas_einwaller @tarungangwani No. This is not what will happen. You can view the video without the notch covering the video. Let's give the designers at Apple a little more support than thinking they'd force a cutout in all videos.

@thomas_einwaller @tarungangwani @theleovogel Leo, I think this extension is meant to emulate how it would look like to watch a video on an iPhone X screen as opposed to demonstrate that videos filmed on an iPhone X will have a 'notch' cut out imposed on them.

@thomas_einwaller @theleovogel @thecoppinger Thank you. Apple's HIG deliberately states to design for the notch, not around it. Apps cannot emulate a black bar. I suspect over time Apple will allow people to shrink video and photos, like they allow people to "zoom" letterbox videos. The long game is to have all of this under the screen. Typical Apple -- ship the future even if people (and the ecosystem) isn't ready, in order to force the issue.

@thomas_einwaller @theleovogel @thecoppinger here STS provides the render: https://twitter.com/stroughtonsm... Shrink the video to 4.7" diagonal (getting an iPhone 8 sized screen for media), or accept the notch.

@anant90 So why does Apple show videos and photos that appear to be cut off by the notch?

@tarungangwani It's an optional view. Only if you double tap on a YouTube video, it will zoom up and fill up the screen (like it does with letter-boxed videos even today). Check out: https://youtu.be/_HTXMhKWqnA?t=2... (Start at 2:49)
