Now you can blow your own vuvuzela at crucial moments while watching a game from the FIFA World Cup tournament on YouTube.
The world's largest video-sharing website has activated a new button that looks like a tiny soccer ball on some videos but it sounds like a very loud vuvuzela.
The vuvuzela has certainly become one of the most talked-about features of the 2010 World Cup. Many people have taken to it with great passion and the plastic trumpets were out in full force during several games, including those who had no African teams.
After several complaints that it made communication on the field almost impossible and general moans that it sounded like a swarm of angry bees, FIFA President Sepp Blatter, earlier this month put his foot down and declared that the vuvu was going to stay.
Subsequent to this decision several television stations developed technology to erase the noise from vuvuzelas when broadcasting games.
It seems that YouTube does not have similar issues with the noise little trumpets. They have now installed a vuvuzela widget, that looks like a little soccer ball, that viewers can click on to have the sound of the vuvuzela added to videos of soccer games.
