Features & Capabilities

Touch Controls offers VLC-style gesture-based brightness and volume adjustments specifically for the official YouTube and YouTube Go apps when watching videos in fullscreen mode. Users can easily swipe up or down on the right side of the screen to control volume and on the left side to adjust brightness seamlessly.

The extension also provides premium features such as tap, double-tap, long press actions, seeking support, and keyboard control capabilities. Utilizing accessibility services, it detects fullscreen video playback in the YT/YT Go apps to activate transparent overlays, ensuring a smooth and intuitive control experience without compromising user privacy.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise the usefulness of volume and brightness controls for videos (notably YouTube) when the app functions, but reliability is inconsistent across devices, licenses can reset after updates, overlays interfere with other apps, and brightness features may be gated behind the pro version.

Pros

Adds quick volume and brightness controls for videos, especially YouTube, which many users find useful.
Improves media usage in scenarios like driving with a tablet.
When it works, it performs well and delivers solid functionality on some devices (e.g., Pixel 8 Pro).
Offers simple, straightforward controls that provide the promised features when active.

Cons

Reliability is inconsistent across devices; the app frequently won\'t work or respond.
Device compatibility issues across multiple models (OnePlus, Pixel, Realme, Samsung, etc.).
Premium licensing problems: purchases can be forgotten or require re-purchasing after updates; brightness features often gated behind the pro version.
Overlay UI blocks parts of the screen, interferes with typing and YouTube controls, and cannot be adjusted.
Brightness controls can be limited or cannot reach max on some devices, even with pro access.
