Last week's guide to becoming an expert at YouTube was quite popular, so we decided to do a follow-up in video form.

Included are some of our tips from the guide that could have used a little help from on-screen examples. We think you'll find they're quite a bit easier to understand once you see the before and after; especially in the case of YouTube's machine tags, which can change the way other people see your videos.

In just a few minutes we cover:
• How to make YouTube always play the high quality stream
• Focus on just the player, and not all the other page elements with tools like Theeter
• Setting the specific time when a video starts
• Creating a self-playing list, and embedding it somewhere
• Changing the way your video looks with YouTube's machine tags
