Did I learn anything new? All of it was new to me! I watch dozens of Youtube videos every day and had no idea there were shortcut keys or that some of these features even existed. Thanks.

[KallMeChris]

Some of these tips and tricks I was aware of but some of them I didn’t know existed lol thank you so much for this!

[stevelitchfield]

Great tips! I knew shortcuts had to be out there somewhere, but have never taken the time to find them. This will greatly improve my video watching.

[javtimestwo]

Great job with this video. I had no idea shortcuts were possible while watching YT videos. Amazing! I will be practicing these shortcuts constantly.
I definitely learned something new and this is why I enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work 👏🏼

[duringthemeanwhilst]

I only knew about the space bar, so thanks :-)

[someguy-zbkh]

hold space bar to speed up x2 and to stop it just late it go

[mohammadnazmulhossain]

For windows: To watch a video 'frame by frame' so you can get to that specific moment in a video. use Ctrl + left arrow key to go back one frame or use the Ctrl + right arrow key to go forward one frame at a time.

Hello! How can i change the keyboard shortcuts on youtube. I want to change toggle play/pause, (K) with {space)

[SandraB]

Thank you so much! These are great tips!

[AliceBaldwin]

Is there a short key for adjusting the video speed?

[yassinebroco]

Thank you so much that was so helpful ♥🔥🔥🔥

[valerielarsen]

OMG. I didn't even know there were smart keys for video's. Thank you....

[bayanyou]

Thank you David, useful information ..

[mdmehadihassan]

Thank You SoMuch. It's Really Very Helpful Video

[mythcrafts]

I knew all of them except the shortcut for the playback speed which I was hoping it would only require one key press, at least its there

[DavidGonzalezVRE]

Thanks! Is there a way to move the video frame by frame instead of 10 seconds?

Do you know how to fix the colour of the font in the comments section because for some reason mine has turned black while im in dark mode and I have to type in notepad and copy paste to see what im doing. It worked fine the other day. I'm wondering if I have accidently pressed some kind of shortcut, if you have any idea's i'd appreciate it.

[popcornmike]

HELP please David. I have an i-pad with a (magnetic) keyboard bought at the same time as the pad. Your space bar stop/start tip works more or less every time, but the others mostly don’t. Any suggestions?
