About

Playback Controls for Youtube™ adds fast playback buttons directly to the YouTube player, so you can control videos without opening extra menus.

The extension adds quick controls for:

• Playback Speed: increase or decrease speed in precise steps.  
• Reset Speed: return the video to 1.00x instantly.  
• Seek Controls: jump forward or backward through the video faster.  
• Quality: select Auto quality or quickly request 1080p.  
• Captions: toggle captions from the custom control bar.  
• Pin Controls: keep the player controls visible when needed.  
• Themes: customize the style of the control bar from the extension popup.

It is designed for people who watch videos, courses, podcasts, tutorials, lectures, and long-form content with fewer interruptions. Instead of opening YouTube menus repeatedly, you can act directly from the player.

Useful for:

• Watching educational videos more efficiently  
• Speeding up slow videos  
• Slowing down complex explanations  
• Jumping through long videos faster  
• Keeping captions easier to access  
• Saving time when watching tutorials, courses, or podcasts  
• Customizing the player controls to match your preference

Important:

• This extension does not replace YouTube’s own controls. It simply makes useful playback actions easier and faster to access.  
• It runs only on youtube.com.  
• It does not post comments, like videos, subscribe to channels, or send messages on your behalf.
