Another cool trick is that if you try to go full screen it will automatically go to the end of the video! Such an amazing feature.
edit: I actually didn't know about the feature, op. Thanks!

Ok

LOL I thought it was just me that was having problems with that.

I don't know what you're talking about. I always watch videos full screen, never had it go to the end of the video.

Although recently I've been having a bug where the video will freeze on a frame but the audio continues. The first couple of times it happened I thought that was just how the video was (someone talking over a still image), but then it lasted a long time and I realized something was up. Usually changing orientation or restarting the video fixes it.

I love it when you try to pause the video and it skips to the next one.
Why is there a skip video button in the middle of the screen next to the pause button.

Another trick that i found just a few days ago was that (on the desktop version) you can go trough a paused video frame by frame by using [.] and [,].

I thought that was cool

 

[Timedog]

I just noticed this earlier today. I'm guessing it's a very recent new feature.

Comes with android 7 I think.

More importantly, if you use Firefox for Android you can have the audio from youtube even with the screen off.

That happens to me once in a while and it's 100% of times my fault too

Lol this. Glad I'm not the only one and they will hopefully fix it.

Anyways, thanks Op.

 

[Veins]

Yeah I noticed this a few days ago, they must have added it recently.

How are so many people *accidentally* discovering this? What action would make you double tap the screen when you didn't mean to?

WHAT

HOW

Play the video through the browser?

 

[Naked Snake]

Play the video through the browser?

Obviously.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

They absolutely fucked up video controls in the latest YouTube app update. Now you have to tap once to 'wake' the time seek controls and tap again to seek where you wanted. I can live with this, I thought. If I want to time seek quickly I'll just double tap the time seek bar. Lo and behold that makes it skip by 10 seconds instead.

 

[ReBirFh]

Another cool trick I discovered.

If your work's WIFI network blocks youtube you can load the link and start the video through your 3G/4G then change to WIFI and it will bypass the block.

can do this with Safari on IOS too

 

[RoKKeR]

That's neat.

I don't understand why scrubbing doesn't have a picture preview of where you are scrubbing too. Used a friend's iPhone the other day and was surprised to see that there but not on Android. Come on, Google!

 

[Engell]

best trick is to just open youtube in the browser instead of the retarded app.

 

[quesalupa]

This is going to change my life. Thanks OP!

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I accidentally discovered this yesterday, I couldnt figure out how to do it again. Neat.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Mods hate him!

I keep 'discovering' the next video option when I don't want to unfortunately. My cheap phone touchscreen isn't the best.

This is too funny

 

[The Albatross]

That is really handy... I always wished that there was a "Rewind 15 seconds" or "Fast forward 15 seconds" because getting the tracking right with your finger is so difficult especially on long videos. I figured YouTube would never build it in because it could make it easier to skip ads that are part of a video (sort of with PocketCasts, how you can so easily fast forward through the ads in a podcast)

ALthough showing a screenshot of a text with you and your friend is sort of a weird way to show the tip ... SUrely it took longer to take a screenshot, modify the image, upload, and paste the link rather than just write that out... But, whatever.

...? YouTube app is great and has way more handy features than the website, like browsing videos while docking an existing video in the bottom of the screen, swipe that video up to go back to full screen, or swipe it left to dismiss it.

Also works with triple tapping.
