How do I watch a Youtube video without seeing those annoying "thought bubbles"?

Asked by colliedog (922points) December 16th, 2009

I’m trying to watch this video of Stephen Colbert rapping with Alicia Keys.

Is there any way to prevent these colored boxes with text appearing over the video, blocking some of the view?

It’s kind of annoying.

Bottom right-hand corner of the video, hold your mouse over that furthest icon, a little thing should pop up. Click the red icon.
That one that, when you hold your mouse over it, says “Turn off annotations”. Yeah, click on that to turn off annotations.

You’re better off watching it here. Viacom has a track record of regularly sending cease and desist letters to YouTube to take down popular videos, so the official site is the way to go.

Bubbles? You mean those things that occasionally poke out between the ads?
