12 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on YouTube - Gizmodo

From hidden gestures you might not have come across before, to ways that you can set some sensible limits on how much time you’re spending going down rabbit holes, these 12 handy tricks and tweaks will help you get more out of YouTube.

On the web, right click on the video itself to find the Loop option; on mobile, tap on a video clip on its individual listing page, then tap the three dots (top right) and Loop video.

Tap with one finger and hold on the video as its playing, and you can then—with your finger still pressed down on the screen—swipe left or right over the clip to quickly scrub through the video’s timeline.

You might not have realized it, but YouTube knows how long you’re spending watching videos on your devices.

From the Home tab inside the mobile app, tap your avatar (top right) then pick Time watched.

If you’re really into video encoding and streaming, then YouTube can give you much more technical information about clips when you’re watching them in the mobile apps.

The information displayed on screen in real time includes the resolution of the clip, the audio and video codecs used, and the amount of bandwidth you’re using up by streaming it.

Perhaps you want to let the kids watch some videos, or you need to research something that you don’t want to muddy up your recommendations—for these and other reasons, YouTube on mobile has an incognito mode that you can enable by tapping your profile picture (top right) on the main Home screen, and then choosing Turn on Incognito.

On the downloads page on mobile, you’ll see recommended downloads (videos that YouTube thinks you might want to save for offline viewing) by default

You can also set the default quality for downloaded videos via Backgrounds and downloads from the Settings page on mobile, and via Downloads from the Settings page on the web

One more feature for the YouTube Premium crowd: You can now bring up a dedicated listening controls panel while you’re watching videos on mobile, giving you easy access to buttons for pausing playback and skipping forward or back
