Extension summary

With Mouse Controls for YouTube™ you can change the volume and seek with your mouse.

NOTE: I had to change the permissions for this extension to run on every website. Mostly because I want to have this controls on other websites that use the same video player as YouTube. If you don't want that, you can change the permissions in the extension settings in the extensions section and only allow youtube.com or whatever.

=== HOW TO USE ===

  • !!!IMPORTANT!!! Make sure to go to the settings page and setup the extension first thing.
  • After installing the app, refresh your YouTube™ page. The controls should be active now.
  • Hover over the player and use your mouse scroll to change the volume.
  • To seek click the middle button once, then scroll. this will move your seek forward or backward in time.

=== NEW RELEASE ===

v. 1.2.4

Cool idea if it worked. Scroll button doesn't work with this extension no matter what I had tried.

Really enjoyed. Worked great. Was able to skip forward through youtube videos with the scroll wheel. But it also it cuts out the audio. No sound. Shame cause the skipping part worked well.
