30+ YouTube Keyboard Shortcuts You Should Know in 2021 – Google Drive Links

Many people today spend most of their time on YouTube , whether for learning purpose or watching some cat videos. If you are one of those users who spends hours jumping from one YouTube recommendation to another , then you should definitely hone its keyboard shortcuts.

Check out this list of 30+ keyboard shortcuts to make your YouTube use more productive.

Note: Most of these shortcuts will only work when the YouTube player is in focus. If you are navigating other parts of the video page , then these shortcuts will not work. You can click on the YouTube player to gain back focus.

Using the Tab key

Most of the YouTube player functions can be controlled with the above-mentioned keyboard shortcuts. However, they still can’t control everything, such as toggle theater mode or control options in the player “Settings” .

You will need the help of “ Tab key ” to navigate to these options and then use “ Enter ” and “ Arrow keys ” to control the options. For example, you can move to the “Settings” button by pressing the ‘ Tab key ” multiple times and then hit “ Enter ” to open the settings. Afterward, use “ Arrow keys ” to move up and down in the settings and use “ Enter ” to change any options inside.

If you don’t want to use the mouse at all or don’t have access to it , then the “Tab key” is your best friend.

Tip: YouTube TV mode takes the most advantage of these shortcuts. If you like navigating YouTube with keyboard shortcuts, then you will definitely like the YouTube TV mode. You can use it on both your PC and your smart TV.

To conclude

Learning these YouTube keyboard shortcuts may require some practice, but they are worth investing your time in if you want to have a hassle-free YouTube experience.

I believe that Spacebar and arrow keys are the most used keyboard shortcuts , but the others are very useful as well.
