Six YouTube Viewing Hacks

Okay – Right to the point!

Here are SIX YouTube shortcuts I use on a regular basis. 

  1. Spacebar: Press the spacebar to pause/play the video (k also works)
  2. Left & Right Arrow: Use the left and right arrows to FFWD and REW in 5 second intervals
  3. F: Press the “F” key for Full-Screen viewing 
  4. T: Press the “T” key for Theater-Mode viewing (larger screen, but not Full-Screen)
  5. M: Press the “M” key to mute the sound
  6. C: Press the “C” key for subtitles/closed captions

And that’s it.

Six hacks (shortcuts) you can use when you watch YouTube.

These are especially helpful if you are on a laptop and don’t want to use an external mouse or the trackpad.
