In the vast domain of online video content, YouTube stands out as the go-to site for entertainment, education, and more. While many people browse movies with ease, several secret shortcuts and features can improve your video control and overall viewing experience. Whether you're a binge-watcher or a content producer, these YouTube keyboard shortcuts will help you conquer video.
  1. Navigate Precisely with Numbers (1-9): One of the most unpopular features on YouTube is the capability to hop to particular points in a video using numbers 1 to 9. Each number depicts a percentage of the video's time, letting you steer fast. For example, pressing 4 takes you to the 40%, while 7 takes you at the 70% point. 
  2. Precision Navigation: Use these shortcuts to accurately move across a video. To hop 10 seconds towards the back, use the 'J' key. Press the 'L' key to advance 10 seconds. Use the Left/Right arrow keys on the seek bar to navigate back or forward 5 seconds.
  3. Playback Control: Learning about playback control is necessary for a pleasant watching experience. To pause playback, use 'K' or the spacebar. Press '.' while the video is stopped to move to the next frame. When the video is paused, hit ',' to return to the previous frame.
  4. Audio and captions: Easily personalise your options for audio and captions: To mute or unmute the video, use the 'M' key. To activate closed captioning, press the 'C' key.
  5. Optimise Viewing Experience: Using this shortcut can improve your visual experience. To get into full-screen mode, press 'F'. If you're already in full-screen mode, use 'F' or 'Escape' to escape.
  6. Adjust Volume: Customise your watching experience by changing the volume. To increase or decrease the volume by 5%, press the Up/Down arrow keys on the seek bar.
These keyboard shortcuts not only save time, but they also give you more control, which may substantially increase your efficiency and fun on YouTube. These secret shortcuts let you personalise your YouTube experience to your liking, whether you're searching for a certain moment in a video, changing the playback, or tweaking the audio and caption options.
