Skip “Hey Guys!” YouTube Video Screensavers With These Two Handy Hotkeys
You subscribed to their YouTube channel, you clicked that button countless times, and you may have even donated some money to their Patreon. However, you should listen to the same intro video every time, which all YouTubers use for some reason. Here are two hotkeys that will save you the hassle of hearing “Hey, how are you guys?” ever again.
Which keyboard shortcuts you use will depend on how long your YouTube channel splash screen usually lasts. You probably have an idea if you’ve watched a few videos on their channel.
If introductions are usually long …
Press the (1) key on your keyboard. It will take you as much as 10 percent of the video, bypassing everything that you hear over and over again, says Redditor u / IssphitiKOzS . In fact, each number key (0) – (9) corresponds to a percentage in the video, from 0 to 90 percent. So, if the intros are insanely long, press the (2) key to jump to the 20 percent mark.
If the introductions are quick but still annoying …
Press the (right arrow) key or the (l) key on your keyboard. This will move you forward 5 and 10 seconds, respectively. If you like, you can simply press the right arrow button over and over until it looks like the video has actually started.
