So if you are with me till now, we will go ahead with some cool youtube tricks which will enhance your viewing experience with the website. This list will include the website tricks as well as the app tricks. So let's dive in!

1. Starting Video From A Specified Time :

Whenever you click a link or open a video on youtube, the video starts from the beginning but if you want to view the video from a specified time; for example if the video is of 5 minutes and you want to start the video from 2 minutes 15 seconds than
  • Open the video.
  • Pause the video.
  • Click on the address bar.
  • Edit the address link and add "t=2m15s" at the last (t-time ; m-minutes ; s-seconds).
  • Example : "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57-MkNn54pE&feature=youtu.be" This is the link so after the link add "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57-MkNn54pE&feature=youtu.bet=2m15s".
  • If you want to share the same link with the video starting from specified time then open the video.
  • Click the Share button below the video.
  • Check the box which says : "Start At"
  • Write the time as 2.15 in the box beside.
  • Hit enter.
  • Copy the link and share.

2. Make Youtube Subscriptions Page As Your YT Hompage :

As you open youtube everytime youtube suggests you videos which you never want to open so in that case bookmark your subscriptions page as your default youtube page. By this trick you will never miss videos from the channels you have subscribed to. For that you just need to enter "youtube.com/feed/subscriptions" in the address bar and hit enter. After that, bookmark this page. So whenever you open youtube, you can view your subscriptions page not the default boring page!

3. Loop A Video Without A Software :

Did you ever want to listen or to see a video which can start again and again without you doing anything. Sometimes you want a video song on Youtube to keep on repeating as it comes to an end, so for that you don't need a third party app or software. Just right click on the video and select loop from the options. Now the video keeps on playing repeatedly till you change the video or unloop it!

4. Changing A Youtube Video Into Gif

Did you ever see a video and want to convert it into a GIF? If you, then now you don't need  to worry for downloading anything or for long procedures. You just need to
  • Go to address bar.
  • Remove "https://www." from the address bar.
  • Add "gif" in the place of "https://www." and hit enter.
This will take you to another website where you can customize your youtube video into a gif.!

5. Transcript A Youtube Video

Sometimes you see some videos, but you understand their accent or the way of speaking. For these type of videos, users put the closed captions for the videos, and if they haven't you can transcript the video. For that
  • Open the video you want to transcript.
  • Click the "More" button below the video beside the "Share" button.
  • Select "Transcript" from the drop down list.
This will not be accurate in all the videos as it is auto generated but that is very helpful at times.!

6. Youtube TV

If you have experienced youtube on your smart Tv , gaming console or any other streaming device then you would have noticed that it has a great layout and design in that devices, so if you want to experience the same in PC then just type "/tv" after "youtube.com". That's all!

You can also change the time from 10 seconds to 5,15,20,25,etc in the youtube settings.!
