Video sharing website Vimeo are taking notice of the number of connected tv’s being sold, and adding a couch potato mode for big screen viewers. The new feature called Couch Mode is currently being beta tested and can be accessed from the Vimeo website. The current version works on Safari and Chrome browsers, so all new Google TV viewers can watch in full screen

The new feature announced in a company blog post said:- “Couch Mode is a special new section of Vimeo that allows you to watch collections of videos (such as Staff Picks, your inbox, your videos, etc.) completely uninterrupted like a TV channel. Just press play and grab the popcorn,”be a full-screen video player with huge navigation buttons and no intrusive user interface.

So, basically, anyone using a hammer for pressing the remote can use the video service. It allows viewers to choose from Staff picks (why?), a HD playlist and more importantly, your own favorite playlist. So just by pressing play, you can watch hours worth of video’s without interruption.

More options are/will become available, but the beauty of the system is both the full screen display and the fact that it is simple. Couch potato’s rejoice. If your pc only, then you can still see the big screen optimised site, just install the Safari or Chrome browser.
