6 Tips & Tricks That Every YouTube User Should Know

YouTube has gained lot of popularity over the last few years. The video streaming and sharing platform has one of the biggest content repositories on the internet. YouTube is accessed by millions of users everyday for music, tutorials and movies. Today we have listed 6 tips and tricks that you must know.



1. Play videos on loop

You can play your favorite YouTube video on loop mode on YouTube. All you need to do is, open your favorite video, hit the right button on the mouse and select ‘loop’ option. The video will repeat itself.

2. Go keyboard only

You can use all the functionality of YouTube using just a mouse. Google also offers keyboard-only navigation for YouTube. Just open ‘www.youtube.com/leanback' and you will get the navigation options that can be accessed by keyboard. You can use the keyboard to play, pause, fast-forward, rewind and even report the videos. Even in the standard YouTube webpage, you can use keyboard shortcuts to pause/play, mute, rewind and fast-forward.

3. Default video resolution

If you have slow internet connection, you can avoid the pain of waiting to buffer the video. YouTube by default changes the video resolution according the internet connection speed. You can change the default setting by going to ‘www.youtube.com/account_playback' and select the option ‘I have a slow internet connection. Never play higher-quality video.’ 

4. Go in karaoke mode

You can sing along your favorite music track with YouTube and forget the hassle of looking for lyrics. You just need to install Musixmatch browser extension and it will overlay the lyrics on the video as it plays. This is just the perfect solution for Karaoke nights.

5. #Artist

You can find music videos specific to artists on YouTube. Just type #ArtistName in the search bar and hit enter (e.g., #adele). YouTube will give the collection of videos related only to that specific artist. The feature works on the browser, mobile app and mobile version of YouTube.

6. Playback speed

You can slow down or speed up the video on YouTube. It’s quite easy process. You can hit the enter button on the video and select speed option. You can slow down the video (0.25x and 0.5x) or even speed it up (1.25x, 1.5x and 2x).
