The

Watch Later feature on the Boxee

box is a great way that you can

store video content

that you don't have time to watch right now in an easy to access list. That way when you go to the

Watch Later page

, you'll see all of the videos that you

flagged to Watch Later

. There's even a way to

add videos to your Watch Later

list from within your web browser.

With so much

video content to access from your Boxee

box, you might not have time to watch them all. Fortunately, there's the Watch Later page and it's really easy to add videos to this list.

One way to do this is to simply select a video while

browsing Boxee content

. Whether you're in your Friends page or looking at movies or TV shows, just select a video. Then select Watch Later and it will be added to your Watch Later queue.

Another way to add videos to your Watch Later list that doesn't involve actually being at your Boxee unit is to add a plug-in into your browser so you can easily add videos from wherever you are. Go to boxee.tv/services and you'll see a big Watch Later button. Drag this into your bookmarks bar and you'll have an easy option to add videos to your Watch Later list when you see certain videos.

Keep in mind that the bookmarklet only works with certain websites like YouTube but doesn't work with others, like Facebook. Worry not as there are still plenty of compatible video sites.
