YouTube tips you didn’t know
YouTube is a fun website where you can spend time watching videos about just about anything. Why not look up an old song that you haven’t heard for years, or the theme tune to your favourite TV program from your childhood?
But while it’s fun, there are some handy shortcuts on YouTube that can make the viewing experience even better.
Once you have opened a new video, these shortcuts will work right away without having to click anything at all.
• J – Jump back 10 sec.
• K – Makes the video play or pause.
• L – Jump forward 10 sec.
• M – Mute the sound.
Once you have clicked something in the video, such as play or the volume, you can also use these nifty shortcuts too.
• Left/right arrows – Rewind or fast-forward the video by 5 sec.
• Up/down arrows – Controls the volume.
• Numerals 1 through 9 - Skip anywhere from to 10% to 90%
• Home – Skips to start of video.
• End – Skips to end of video.
• F – Puts video in fullscreen mode.
• Esc – Exits from fullscreen mode.
