Today's Tip:
Control YouTube with the keyboard like a pro!
Use the spacebar to pause/play a video.
A student saved me with this one! After fumbling with the trackpad on my Chromebook to pause a YouTube video during class to discuss, one of my students told me it's so much easier to hit the spacebar. She was right!
Since this small thing made my day a little easier, I googled "YouTube keyboard shortcuts" and discovered so many more!
Skip ahead on a video.
Use the number keys to skip through a percentage of the video. The "1" key skips to 10% through a video, the "5" key skips to 50% through a video, and so on.
Go back or forward 5 seconds.
Go back 5 seconds by hitting the left arrow.
Go forward 5 seconds by hitting the right arrow.
Restart a video.
Hit the "0" key.
Turn captions on/off.
Hit the "c" key.
