Tip: watch news videos at 1.5 speed. They can still be followed very well and you save time.

Holding the space bar will 2x the video while you hold it. Holding Left click does the same thing. Holding left click then right clicking will stick the 2x after you release the buttons until you right click again.

Here's my tip: for fresh content and conversations sort videos by newest or recently uploaded.

Excellent video. Could you please do one on the YouTube TV app which has many limitations compared to online version and maybe find some tips & tricks we don't know about. Thanks. Love the new format.

I've got so many vids in my watch later it's ridiculous

Small tip about shortcuts: while the video is in focus, hold down the spacebar or your left mouse button while it plays, it works like a fast forward button, playing back 2x speed until you release.

One of the most informative and useful content you have ever given me!

YouTube MUST reinstate seeing our Playlists in alphabetical order when creating a new one or trying to add a video to one!

I watch YouTube on through a YouTube app on my TV. Is there anyway I can take advantage of these really cool tips?

[vikramkanth]

I would like to search my Playlist first before adding a video or creating a new Playlist

[salliemae]

Holding left click on the video causes it to go x2 speed. Left and right arrows advance/reverse by 5 seconds. (Firefox on computer)
I have some Firefox/YouTube extensions, so maybe that's why.

The Watch later feature is very handy. It's bookmarking a video to watch later when you can't watch it right now.

Interesting, I'm wondering when the creator music is going to show up. My Channel dashboard still shows the audio library.

Pressing "M" on the keyboard will mute the video.

Utube subscription is so good
I held out for a long time, thinking it wasn't worth it
It is, i wish I'd done it sooner
If your into music or podcasts, offline, and on the go, it's worth every penny.
The number of music vids I've got downloaded would have cost me very much more than my sub, if they were CDs

[ImRan_Maik]

My favorite YT shortcuts: Shift+, and Shift+. for speed control

[rgarlinyc]

My LEFT and RIGHT ARROW Keys at the bottom of my Mac keyboard also act as keys "J" and "L"

[fahimhasan]

There is a new YouTube feature I found out. If you press and hold the spacebar, the video will play fast till you let it go. This is useful if I'm trying to find a specific part of the video.

YouTube has been at war with ad blockers. YouTube needs the ads to pay for their operating costs. What people don't like is they put too many ads in videos and hate it then they get interrupted in the middle of watching someone's video.
