This week’s #TechTuesday looks at awesome tricks for making your YouTube experience easier and more enjoyable.
You’ve probably heard of the website YouTube.
The video-sharing website is one of the most popular on the internet.
Perhaps you enjoy cat fails, gaming let’s-plays, or binge-watching music videos.
In any case, here are some tips to improve your YouTube experience.
Avoid watching suggested videos:
Because of YouTube’s latest algorithms, your home page will most likely be filled with suggested content.
If this bothers you, there is a workaround.
Open a new browser tab and enter youtube.com/feed/subscriptions.
This will show you the most recent videos and suggestions based solely on your subscriptions.
Make use of your keyboard:
It’s sometimes nice to just sit back and listen to music.
When watching a video, use keyboard commands if you’re feeling particularly lazy.
J moves the video back 10 seconds, while L moves it forward 10 seconds.
M mutes the sound of a video while K pauses it.
Start a video at a predetermined time:
Consider this: you’ve been watching a video, and one scene in particular has made you laugh out loud.
You’d like to send the same video to a friend.
There are two methods for sending the link and having the video begin at a specific point.
The first step is to right-click on the video and then select “copy video URL at current time.”
The second method is to append #t= plus the desired time to the video URL.
If you want a video to begin one minute and ten seconds in, add #t=70s to its URL.
There are a plethora of other awesome YouTube hacks available, so start exploring.
