Comedy Central’s New Video Rating System

Comedy Central video rating systemWhile navigating Comedy Central video, you’ll notice the "thumbs up" icon beneath the player on the right hand side. If you like a video, just click the icon to rate it. We chose the thumbs up rather than the five star rating system because on the previous version of the site, we found that most videos were rated between three to five stars, making them largely indistinguishable from each other. With the "thumbs up" system, videos that receive the highest number of votes are featured under the “Most Popular” tab. Please let us know how you like it!

Video Pop-Up Mode

ABOUT
A key new feature of comedycentral.com’s video experience is the ability to view content in a pop-up window. This allows viewers to watch multiple clips while continuing to use the rest of their screens for other purposes. Below are some tips to help you get the most from these new features.



TIPS

Start at the Beginning

If you begin watching a video clip in the page and then switch to pop-up mode while viewing is in progress, the video will begin to play from the beginning. Click the “Watch in Pop-up” link to the right of the player window instead of clicking the Play button within the player.

How to Play All Clips in an Episode


If you want to watch ALL the clips available from a given episode or playlist, first click the “Play All” link located just below the playlist tab title, then click the “Watch in Pop-up” link, and the entire playlist will play with no further action by the viewer required.
