Youtube Tricks

Youtube is the largest video channel on the internet with 
lots of different kinds of videos ranging from comedy,
tutorials, movies, musicals, live events and lots more.
Youtube has many features like editing live uploaded
videos, streaming, monetization etc.
No doubt you have been enjoying videos from youtube
and if you haven't you can start right away.
Listed below are tips and tricks to help you
maximize the use of youtube.

  • Force Buffering Of The Entire Video

Buffering on Youtube occurs every 30seconds of the
particular video to be watched when the video is
paused. If your internet connection is not fast enough
the video lag and later crash.
Video lag can be avoided by forcing youtube to buffer
the entire video before you can play it.
SmartVideo for YouTube is a tool that can help with this 
and is available as a Firefox Add-on and Chrome Extension. 
After you’ve installed it and opened a YouTube video, 
you will see an additional option at the bottom of the video, 
click Global Preferences, and tick the box for Smart Buffer, 
see below picture:
enable buffer

  • Watching YouTube In Slow-motion

Imagine you watching a video in YouTube and it’s moving 
fast that you hardly see the tiny details that is in the video. 
Perhaps you want to play the video at a slower pace.
YouTube actually has HTML5 Player for its videos that you 
can request in YouTube.com/html5. Click Request the 
HTML 5 Player. Now open a video, you will find the 
option with speed adjustment. Do keep in mind though that 
you’ll need a browser that fully supports HTML5 video.

  • Disabling Video Annotation

Annotation is a clickable box that overlays on top of YouTube 
videos. It aims to improve user interphase by displaying extra
details or links related to a video. It is useful for the video 
uploader, but can also be quite disturbing for the users. 

Do you want to hide these annotations?

You can disable annotations to all YouTube videos through the 
YouTube settings. Click your profile picture then click the gear 
icon (YouTube Setting). On the left sidebar, select Playback 
and uncheck the Annotations and Interactivity option. Easy as that.

Unchecking this option will also hide the channel promotion and 
interactive card on the video you are watching.


  • Disable Autoplay

 YouTube always starts playing a video just opened which 
can sometimes be annoying. To disable autoplay video on 
YouTube, you can use the YouTube Control Center Add-on in Firefox 
or Stop Autoplay extension for Chrome.
It has a handful of options to control a YouTube video. 
Install this Add-on, and find Autoplays video when the player loads. 
Keep this option unchecked to disable Autoplay. Another option is 
the Stop Autoplay extension which does the same thing. 
You need to install it on Chrome, then activate it via the  
chrome://extensions/ page.


  • Download A YouTube Video’s Subtitle

Many YouTube videos comes in a language 
that you are probably not familiar with. YouTube actually lets 
the video author add subtitles to help their viewers understand 
what is being passed across. If you are downloading a particular 
video, the subtitles won’t come with it.

Use KeepSub to download the subtitles embedded in the video. 
Just copy the video url on the form, press the button and KeepSub 
will retrieve the subtitles for downloading. KeepSub 
also offers translated subtitles using Google Translate.
