Forcing HTML5 YouTube on Surface

[Michael Alan Goff]

I was wondering if there's any way to do it, YouTube loads slower in Flash than HTML5.

Any special trick?

That doesn't force HTML5, that merely allows YouTube to use HTML5. It will still default to Flash.

Not optimal but turn off flash.

Let's pretend I have no clue how to do that.

Figured it out on my own, now the videos are actually loading...

Loving the ability to actually have 720p YouTube videos load.

How is it at 720p and 1080p compared to flash? I may turn off flash as well if there's a noticeable improvement.

Turn on ActiveX Filtering in desktop IE. It's under the Tools drop down menu.

Like I said, I can't get 720p to load at all with flash sometimes and I only get some lag when I go to 720p on html5.

It's a vast improvement FOR ME.
