Summary

Browser extension for YouTube (including embedded videos), YouTube Music, and Google Drive videos.

100+ features available! Features are turned off by default - explore the extension's Popup and Options page and enable the ones you need. After installation, reload all YouTube pages!

Fast forward, rewind, navigate chapters, control volume, speed, and more (50+ actions) with an unlimited number of custom mouse controls (hover over different areas of the video and use mouse wheels or buttons) and keyboard shortcuts. Use global keyboard shortcuts to control active video from any app.

Turn on the "Auto Gain" feature to balance sound levels across different videos by making quieter videos louder. One of the audio channels is quieter or missing? Just turn on the "Mono Mix". Use the "High Pass Filter" to make muddy audio with too much bass clearer. If the volume is still too low, there is a "Boost Volume" feature.

Make player controls always visible, hidden, visible only on mouse hover, or show only a minimalist progress bar. Auto-hide them in less than the default 3 seconds. Customize volume and time display and base time on the current playback rate.

One request : As when i try to play the videos with hovering mouse in home page feed videos i notice the volume is higher and shoots up compare to when we open the videos the volume becomes lower which we set or using from previous video so its irritating the readjust or lower the volume if we play or want to see the preview of videos in home page feed videos if this setting is available to make the volume constant of both that of while opening the video it will be awesome if this feature is already available and i don't know then plz let me know and if doesn;t then take it as a suggestion to add new option in your extension Also i have sent you a mail regarding the channel autoplay feedback hope you see it. Is there any shortcuts that we can create of any key or option with by default key to disable the annotation and ambient mode as youtube don't provide shortcuts for this they only for the playspeed and one more feature which is imp you should implement that changing the quality of the videos with shortcut like playback speed eg i will create a shortcut for increase the quality i will hit Ctrl and + while for decreasing the quality i will hit Ctrl and - as i watch videos mostly on 720p to save the data but sometimes youtubes degrades the video to 360p so its irritating to manually again use the mouse while watching and you should a make a video about all features of this extension with what changes you can create so the user will able to use all the features Edit : Thank-you as i just explore the keyboard shortcuts and find the shortcuts for video quality just like you mentioned and also i get the appearance of clean player i want thankyou again and one thing i noticed in shorts i get the option to drag the players thats awesome i want to ask about the home page of any channel video thats automatically plays when we open any channel is there option to pause or stop automatically as try to find in keyboard shortcuts but didn;t find if there is just on and off to pause it will be good not sure if its already there just like previously i had made the mistake thankyou
