When you play a video on YouTube, a gear-shaped settings icon appears on the right. Here you can adjust the playback speed. You can click to adjust it, but it is more convenient to use the shortcut keys while watching the video.
Pressing SHIFT + > will increase playback speed, while pressing SHIFT + < will decrease playback speed.
One of the most frequently adjusted things on YouTube is the playback position and volume. If the sound suddenly gets louder or quieter, you will want to adjust the settings. It is difficult to make fine adjustments using the mouse, so it is more convenient to use shortcut keys. Pressing the ↑ key on the keyboard arrow keys will increase the volume, and pressing the ↓ key will decrease the volume.
To mute, press the M key once to mute, and twice to mute.
Here are the YouTube shortcuts for quickly moving or rewinding the playback position. The J key is for going back 10 seconds, and the L key is for going forward 10 seconds. And the K key is for playing and pausing. This is also a shortcut used in editing programs.
And if you press the HOME key, you will move to the starting point, and if you press the END key, you will move to the last point. Then, you can move the playback position by percentage using the number keys 0 to 9. For example, you can think of 1 as playing from the 10% point.
