I'm guessing some people might already know this, but after experimenting last summer and doing some more experimenting for the last couple of weeks, I have surmised that fifty seconds, is the amount of time it takes for SBTV to add that extra 10% onto your meter.
It doesn't matter whether the browser you have is running adverts or no adverts on the video (or whether the video still exists or not); As long as the meter is shown, you may as well switch to a different tab and let it run for that amount of time. Feeling skeptical about this? Try it out for yourself!

Make sure that you set the timer and start it as soon as you see the Swagbucks meter, and when it beeps, it should show that the meter has increased its percentage. Here's to optimizing your earnings if you want to multi-task!

Thanks, I never really timed SBTV. I do multi-task or multi-tab with SBTV. I get the SBTV video going, then tab back to Mylot and make a couple of posts. Then, go back to SBTV and usually the video is over, so I start a new video and tab back to Mylot.
I do see glimpses of the commercials, and I think that is the real point of the SBTV - the commercials.
But some of the videos seem to be several minutes long. I will have to time them myself and see what happens. Anyways, I do appreciate being able to multi-task when earning online.
