“5 Advanced Tips and Tricks Every YouTube User Should Know”

YouTube is arguably the best video content platform on the internet with millions of people watching billions of hours of video every day and thousands of creators also generating revenue from the platform.

Although YouTube has a lot of competition, it is still the preferred option for the vast majority of internet users to entertain themselves and explore new and intriguing things through the creators.

If you are an avid YouTuber, we have some tips and tricks that you might not know about that will certainly help you in one way or another.

Play a YouTube video in a loop

YouTube is a great place to listen to music and sometimes you just want to listen to that new tune a few times, get it stuck in your head, before moving on to the next one.

YouTube doesn’t have a built-in option to do the same for you, but websites like YouTube Repeater can help. All you need to do is simply add ‘repeater’ to the URL after ‘youtube’.

So if this is your URL:

It becomes this:

The website will keep repeating your favorite video or audio in a loop until you stop it. You can even customize a start and end point within the video that you want to play in a loop.

Bypass age restriction without login

This can happen if you are underage or, more likely, if you are browsing YouTube without being logged in. This usually happens because YouTube marks a video as explicit.

If you don’t feel like logging in, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

You can use any of these services to be able to view the restricted video; just remember that you will be redirected to a new website.

You can use pwn or nsfw to add the ‘youtube’ prefix to the URL and you’re done. You can watch the restricted video without login. You will need to click on the thumbnail of the first service to access the video.

So if this is your URL:

It becomes this:

Create link to a specific part of the video

If you want to share a video with a friend but don’t want to pester them with unnecessary details at the beginning of the video, there is a way to send them a link that starts the video from the desired point on the timeline.

Simply navigate to the point where you want the shared video to start from, right-click on the video and select ‘Copy current time video URL’.

If you’re faster with the keyboard, you can put an extra bit in the URL to make this happen. Manually add ‘&t=XmXXs’ (where X is the value you need to define in minutes and seconds) or ‘&t=XXs’.

So if this is your URL:

It becomes this: &t=1m15s

O &t=75s

press enter

It may be the case that you have been following a series on a YouTube channel and you are tired of having to manually skip the intro on the timeline.

There’s a shortcut for you via URL here, pretty similar to above, just add &start=Xs (where X is seconds). You cannot use minutes with this method.

So if this is your URL:

Becomes this: &start=15

Create a GIF from the video

In addition to using services like Giphy or Makeagif, where you have to enter the link to the video into their gif generator, you can also easily create a gif by adding ‘gif’ to the link before ‘youtube’.

So if this is your URL:

It becomes this:

You will be redirected to Gifs (.com) where you can edit and trim the necessary gif clip as per your liking.
