YouTube Keyboard Shortcuts
|
Your
computer and programs running on your computer are not the only places keyboard
shortcuts can be used. Many online services like YouTube also have keyboard
shortcuts that can be used. Below is a listing of keys you can use on your
keyboard to control YouTube videos.
Note
|
|
The YouTube video and
window must be active. If these keys are not working, click the video to make
sure it is selected. Switching between windows, changing tabs in your
browser, or performing other actions like making a comment unselects the
video.

the spacebar or the 'k' key on your keyboard to play and pause a video.

Holding down either of
these keys also plays the video in slow motion.

Jump

home key also works for jumping to the start of a video.
Jump

If
you want to fast forward or rewind in increments of five seconds, press the
left or right arrow keys. If you need to jump more than five seconds, hold down
the Ctrl key and press the arrow key for the direction you want to jump in ten
second increments.
Skip

Pressing
the number keys from 1 to 9 seeks (jumps) to that percentage of the video. In
other words, 1 jumps to 10%, 2 jumps to 20%, 3 jumps to 30%, etc.

Pressing
the up or down arrow keys turns up and down the volume of the video. If you are
turning down the volume and continue to hold the down arrow key, it will
eventually mute the volume.

keyboard also mutes and unmutes the volume.
