Today’s featured tech tip….
5 super-handy YouTube keyboard shortcuts
Most popular websites provide a set of keyboard shortcuts for getting things done a little faster, and YouTube is no exception.
If you enjoy watching YouTube videos on a laptop or desktop computer, give these handy shortcuts a try:
1 – Want to pause the video you’re watching? Just press the Space Bar. When you’re ready to resume watching just press the Space Bar again.
2 – Want to rewind the video you’re watching by 10 seconds? Press the J key.
3 – Want to fast-forward 10 seconds? Press L.
4 – Want to start the video over at the beginning? Press either the Home key or the 0 (zero) key – your choice.
5 – Want to mute the sound? Press M.
It might take a little practice to commit these shortcuts to memory, but if you spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos on your computer it’ll be well worth it.
