YouTube tips we bet you didn’t know
- Ngoc Huynh
It’s easy to spend hours watching YouTube videos about, well, pretty much anything. Using your mouse to adjust a setting isn’t exactly slow, but in some cases, the keyboard shortcuts are much faster. Here is a list of the best YouTube keyboard shortcuts you should start using right now:
These shortcuts work when you open a new video, without needing to click anything in the player.
> J – Jump back 10 seconds.
> K – Toggles play/pause.
> L – Jump forward 10 seconds.
> M – Mutes the audio.
The following shortcuts may only work once you’ve clicked somewhere on the player (play, pause, volume, etc).
> Left/right arrows – Rewind or fast-forward 5 seconds.
> Up/down arrows – Volume control.
> Numerals 1 through 9 – Skip to 10%-90%, respectively.
> Home – Jump to start of video.
> End – Jump to end of video.
> F – Enter fullscreen mode.
> Esc – Exit fullscreen mode.
