YouTube has added a few new features – and while they aren’t available on all videos yet, they seem to be catch-up features.
First, they’ve added a theater view, putting a video larger and in the center of the page, darkening the rest of the screen and adding a red curtain to the sides of the video, hence the term “theater view.” You’ll see the Theater View link above the video and below the title. Here’s a screenshot:

The other new feature is the “Lights Off” feature. It’s similar to Hulu’s feature that darkens everything else on the page but the video. A bit useless, but it’s there if you want to use it.
