I don't doubt what you say, but I'm here to tell you that they've certainly hidden it well. I can't find it anywhere. Apple has a history of making changes they consider so obviously reasonable that folks are simply suppose to know intuitively how to get done what they want done.

Well, the YouTube app on iOS 5 was similarly low-quality and unwieldy. I hate there are no multi-touch gestures for forwarding/rewinding 5 or 30 seconds, etc. etc. That should be elementary functionality in a video app. As it is, it's just a crude app, but Google is apparently happy with providing crude, unsophisticated functionality.
I may not bother with it. I didn't like the way the one in my first generation iPad assumed that if I clicked on a YouTube video while in an Internet browser that I really wanted to to do was to open the app to play the video rather than play it from the browser. There were probably optional parameters I could have set to change that behavior, but I never bothered looking for them.
